a friend of mine had a very similar problem and it turned out to be the coilpacks. i'd give them a look

You maybe have it sorted, if not try the vacuum hoses found around the back of the engine..I lost a clip on one of mine, the car was lumpy on idle and would cut out when parked.

Also check the MAF sensor, very common weak spot, is your fuel pressure ok? Check that the fuel filter is free and not blocked also.
