Default racing puma eratic idle and running rough. HELP!

Hi all, in need of some advice, I own a racing puma but having issues with it at the min, the car struggles to start especially on a cold day and once it does the idle is rough until it settles downn at 1000rpm also when im driving if I put my foot down at low speed the car has no power and slowly picks up so im over using the clutch, also when driving when I pull up the idle is eratic again and sometimes stalls. I have changed the idle control valve, the throttle position sensor, the maf sensor, the clutch pedal position sensor, the coil pack, leads and plugs, I have checked the lamba sensor and thats reading ok, the car is still the same after all that. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Gaz

Have you checked for air leaks on the intake manifold?

hi, I have just had a look at the small air pipes coming off the inlet manifold for leaks but cant see any, not really sure how to check for air leaks properly?
Yhanks, Gaz
