Clean your breathers, and check if your EGR valve or your ICV are jamming

Daft question I suspect ... but are you "flooring" it on damp surfaces ??  If you are it may just be the Traction Control cutting in ... if it is you should get a flashing TC light on the dash.

Try accelerating a tad slower... gentle with the right boot !!.... and see if this sorts it  :)

Could be a misfire = check for oil in plug wells, change plugs, and check leads.

Also check for fault codes..
