check all the grounds you can find. especially the little one going from the coilpacks to the motor. check with a multimeter for continuity. a bad ground can cause a miss. check and double check them all. also, just check the wires to the CPS as well, just for the hell of it.
does it have new wires? might wanna check those too.

i think your talking about heat soak. is it usualy in the middle of a hot day when it wants to stall. this was in another thread. after shutting off the engine then trying to restart the car stalls from the gas boiling in thefuel rail. correct me if im wrong

I'd say you should have bought the MKII off of me.
I wouldn't call it heat soak, I personally think it's something to do with the coil packs, but what would heat do to them to make them screw up like that? There are 2 grounds going off of his, so I assume atleast one is actually grounded. I did, however, notice that there was some oil on the old spark plugs (from the valve covers) could this be screwing it up like that?
But seriously.... MKII... you know you want to...

mine does something like this... cold start, runs fine. when warmed up, runs fine. shut off, start right away, runs fine. shut off, leave for a little while, come back startup, still warm, misses, sometimes dies. but it only last for a couple seconds. i'm gonna check the plugs soon. also no codes. fresh rebuild.
i say heat cus it makes the gas boil in the rail after it sits for a while and the heat soaks in the engine bay. when you go to restart theres just boiling gas in there and it has to get it out and run uneven until fresh gas makes into rail.
i could be totally wrong but there is still chance. i know theres another thread on this just i havent realy bothered to look it up for ya.

although this sounds like heat soak, i doubt it is. does it still run choppy after, say 10 minutes of driving? if so, its not heat soak. after the boiled gas is out of the fuel rail, the car should run just fine.
