Hi I think this could be the fuel pump. Was the car running perfectly before? If you were getting hesitation and jerking at full throttle this would make sense.

Worth replacing the fuel filter as these are cheap and if blocked can cause cutting out.

If it's fuel injection and you're doing a DIY fix remember to depressurise the fuel system so you don't squirt any in your face!

Good luck
