Could be temperature sensor or a vacuum leak

Ignition coil is quite common to fail

My sister had a ibiza ABF and the coil went a lot on that, but often wouldn't start at all  :undecided:

Please don't be offended by this but is it posible when it had the new plug leads they were put on the wrong plugs?

Just a thought.....

Unlikely, it would be running as rough as a badger!

not all coil failurers manifest in the same way. Coil would be my next port of call given what you've already checked and changed

Have you not changed the ECU relay?  Mine was rough as and that was it.
