Check Vac line on MAP sensor, its just a black hose which goes into a small box on firewall on left hand side of engine (right if looking from front) I had those sort of symptoms when mine came off.

How about your fuel pump, turn key to on and if you here a sound from the boot then that is still good, if not new fuel pump.
