Could be loads of things mate, possible water getting into a sensor somewhere check over all the sensors and connections and apply contact cleaner, could be your tdc or lamba sensor.

get it on the krypton machine! and check your mass air flow sensor. i know its a different car but when i had my old rs-1800 my car spluttered and died and stalled and all sorts, i did exactly the same as you changin plugs and leads etc. stuck it on the krypton at local garage £28/30mins later drove out prblem solved.

hope ya get sorted m8.
