    Diesel or petrol engines generally need a mix of air in the fuel, So i wouldnt say this is your problem, for example, a diesel engine works by compressing air so that the tempreture gets to about 700 degrees, then the fuel is injected which ignites instantly.

    I would imagine there is a hole in the air intake pipe meaning that the air - fuel mixture isn't correct, which would cause exactly what your explaining. You could get a mechanic to have a look using a diagnostic kit (laptop thingy).
