check leads ect and all connectors. starting will hall sensor on dizzy. i had the same problem and it turned out be si;icon spray, i had sprayed had gone thin in the heat and made it onto the contacts/terminals. give it a wipe/spray with contact cleaner and then id be looking at a new dizzy. hall sensor is integral with the dizzy unfortunatly. you may be lucky though.is the tps working ok?

Check for a boost hose off, I imagine you have but just make sure! That's what happened when I popped a hose off.

It will most likely be something stupid!
