Do you have any amber warning lamp flashing on the instrument cluster? This could be the Immobiliser.Same symptoms as you describe.If not,does the engine fire straight off key,or does it crank for a while before firing?

Yes take a look out for the yellow car with a key icon, sounds exactly like immobiliser symptoms.

Have you checked all your vacuum pipes for leaks?

As a check,test the Needle Lift Sensor Injector(wire attatched to it), around 110 Ohms is ok.
