   i had a similar problem when my battery kept dying, is the engine management light on?? Mine went into a safe mode wouldn't rev past 3000 or 4000 (can't remember which one it was) had to pay citroen to fix it

   try the ht leads, but then that would mean it would only run on 2 or 3 cylinders, Something must of been put back wrong when changing your head, check sparkys are all screwed in tight !
