Fiesta Automatic Cutting Out

Hi all.

Really could do with some help... At the weekend, I went to get in my 53 reg automatic fiesta and it would start but as soon as it started, it would cut out again. If I kept my foot on the accelerator, it would keep running but as soon as my foot came off the accelerator, the car would cut out.

I checked the oil and it was quite low so I went and bought some new oil and put that in so now the dipstick shows its 3/4 full.

After putting the oil in, I kept my foot on the accelerator for about 10 minutes and after that, the car was fine....until this morning when it is doing the exact same thing.

It's been about 2 years since the last service so 2 years since the oil and air filters were changed so I'm wondering, if the air and oil filters needed changing, would they cause this kind of issue?

I've found the filters that I need on Halfords but are they easy to fit?
