    i had the same problems with mine.
    Hard to say what the problem was as i changed most of the 'known culprits' in one swoop.
    Plugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotor, crank sensor, knock sensor, fuel pump relay, ecu relay & fuel filter.

    Crank sensor wiring was completely shot, all 3 wires had the insulation broken and were touching each other, which probably didnt help!
