misfire sound like timing issues are you sure all of your HT leads are in correctly?
Undo all plugs and check if they are all the same carbon coulour it might narrow it down to which plug is playing up?
Was it doing this before with the old ECU ?

Does a K-Jet even have an ECU? Only thing I thought it had was an ignition amplifier

if its the one in your sig its either a 16v or you have an engine conversion. if its a 16v, try putting the old ones back 1 at a time see if that helps
