I've heard about the acetone being pored in diesel ...Myself never tried it .
But I do pour 200ml of 2 stroke oil in the fuel tank at every fill up.
It could be many things with your car but sounds like fuel related .
As Layback sugested check or change fuel filter (start with the easy ones),
Make sure there is no air /air leak or water in the fuel system.
Next would be to check the crank shaft sensor on the bell housing above the flywheel if not loose or faulty (unlikely but never know) .
Have a look at wirring if not rubbing against each other or chasie .
Check and clean the MAF sensor .
Pull the tank fuel supply hose of the fuel filter and blow in it to see if not blocked , should hear the air bubles in the tank .
It sounds like engine is starving for fuel . In the same time have a look at the sensor on the accelerator pedal and check for damage or wirring fault .
Worst ...it would be the IP but unlikely (quite robust).
A bit hard to pin point your problem . Hope you'll manage to find the problem and let us know .
