Sounds like a similar problem I encountered ?
Runs fine and then when warm it misfires ??
Was firstly advised it may be a MAF sensor which made perfect sense.
It actually turned out to be a broken 1/4" hose connector on the circular shaped plenum before the filter box, a common problem apparently !
This hose ultimately connects to the duty solenoid which is located next to the front drivers strut in the vacinity of the MAF sensor.
The hose itself is located directly under the pipe going to the air filter.
May be worth a look see......?
Mine had sheared right off and so required drilling out and a 1/4" hose adaptor was fitted.
If so and you need an adaptor I have some spare - you simply drill out the hole (approx 8mm)slot the adaptor in and tighten it with a spanner.
Similar to a rawl bolt but rubberised and airtight.
there you have it a stub to refit the hose to.
Consider also the fuel you are using ?!?!?
I hear that Shell has a shelf life and the components deteriorate quicker than other fuels ?!
So if you are not using regularly it could breakdown.
good luck.
