    Hard to explain but will do my best.
    Whilst driving, the car loses acceleration but the revs remain as normal and I can still change gear which lowers the revs but still have no acceleration but then acceleration will return.
    Also, when car is first started and for the first 5mins of driving the idle speed is around 15000rpm
    Any ideas why this is happening?
    It's a Getz GSI 1.1 manual

    15000 rpm (15 thousand rpm) is a very high rpm
    And for most engine, would burn them up anywhere between 5 to 8 thousand rpm .. lol

    When engine is cold, the idle at 15 hundred rpm is not unusual.
    After warming up it should drop to around 5 to 7 hundred
    That would be normal.

    With the lack of more information and testing, would be guessing
    Big wild guess would be the clutch is slipping
    Probably wrong.

    Better to have a professional mechanic look at it.
