Now the fuel pump was fitted 6 months ago back the last owner I have checked the records.
Leading evidence: 'Check records' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check done' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I would get a diagnostic check done, to see if there are any fault codes present.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Outcome without a verified action link
all it did was make a loud sucking noise and no improvement in performance :-(
Hi, today I was just on my way back through town and I thought my car was about to stall, It was like i was running out of petrol yet the tank was nearly half full.
I gave it lots of revs and managed to make it into the side road turned the engine off and back on again, it seemed okay and made it home again.
Now the fuel pump was fitted 6 months ago back the last owner I have checked the records.
Does anyone have an idea of what may have caused this?
also my car ticks over at about 2 lines below the big 1 is that okay? its ticking over just over the 3rd level .
Idle should be 700rpm, give or take 20rpm.
I would get a diagnostic check done, to see if there are any fault codes present. Could be the MAF, a vacuum leak, fuel pressure...............
thanks, yeh i suspected it may be the fuel pressure however the air filter is really bad, full of crap, I wonder if that would cause the sluggy jumping today, anyhow not going to clean it, will get new tomorrow.
thanks.
No - don't do it - do a search on here - bu66ers up the MAF I think someone said.
I had one on a MKII Escort RS2000 about 25 years ago... all it did was make a loud sucking noise and no improvement in performance :-(
The cold air induction kit they sell will give an improvement in induction noise, but take any performance claims with a pinch of salt. You can achieve a very similar effect for about £0.50 by removing the resonance chamber in the airbox, and blocking off the Y branch to it on the inlet hose. There are plenty of DIYs on RennTech, and one of the chaps on here also wrote up a mod a couple of years ago.
I personally would avoid fitting an oiled air filter like the plague, as if it is over-oiled it can damage the MAF.
