It wouldn't run at all if they were.

Check the vaccum hose that goes from the Air Idle Control Valve at the back of the engine up to the SFi box, make sure that's on. Is the Airflow meter any good, this would also cause it to cut out? Do you have a Lambda sensor on the engine?

Have a look around the FPR, make sure that it has the vaccum hose on it.

There are all kinds of things that could be wrong mate, it's hard to say without being able to hear it and see it.

Water temp sensor???? Check the 2 wires going in to the blue plug on the temp sensor to see if theyre broken (you need to pull back the rubber seal on the plug and check inside), try changing the actual sensor as well if you can
