Default 1.8 zetec surging..

car ticks over and starts fine but 5 mins up the road she'll go really slugish between 2000 and 3500revs.. bury foot to floor and she'll slugishly get up to 4000 and kick into life then go like rocket, faster than she was running when workin properly?? gonna have a look tomorrow, any ideas b4 i start??? thanks
