Coolant temp sensor.
MAF
Coilpacks.

If on codes are coming up, then possibly coilpacks - but wouldn't think so. Does sound more like MAF or CTS.

Typical!

Brand new coils from a specialist/dealer at abot £65 each?
Brand new, or 2nd hand, MAF?

Well the good news is that a CTS is only about £30 (plus plugs are similar money - can get uprated 7B's on ebay for about £20 these days...)

Well for £30 get a brand new CTS and see how you get on.

If no luck, then it still could be MAF (or something else obviously ).
