ford escort diesel van 75 2001 - Escort Diesel van no poere stalling - zob

I have a ford escort van 1.8 diesel in the last week it has started acting up if you let it idle for a while the engine will start running rough then stall it sounds like there is a noise coming from the clutch housing,sometimes there is no accelleration foot on the floor in first gear doing 5 mph then all of a sudden it kicks in and your off like a rocket,when it stalls it starts again and it runs ok for a while,I had the filter housing changed last year as it had a leak and had a new tank fitted as the old one had rust holes in it,so I am not sure what to do,I tried taking it for a run on the motorway thinking it had some kind of blockage and it seemed to work but now its doing its thing again.so not sure where to start
