Try the air mass meter, this can cause Kangarooing if it fails

don't think it's leads as it feels like someone openning then closing the throttle as opposed to a missfire.

Coilpacks are notorious for packing up and is probably why it is doing so.

My old car had the same permanent problem, i put a new lambda sensor on it which seemed to make the problem intermittent, I then cleaned the air mass meter which sorted it!

air mass meter, right next to air box, un-plug it and if the problem goes then it needs changing.
