    if its juddering in lower gears it could be your clutch

    if its cutting out, check your water and if theres any oil mixed in head gasket might be going. Especially if it over heats before cutting out.

    cant understand how you thought contraception would help like but

    check for Engine management codes (google to find out how) and then possibly get the MAF sensor and lambda sensor checked out.
