My 3 door started doing that, i ended up taking it to power engineering and it turned out to be the coil.

Group A coil needs new connectors fitting. Just try a regular coil for now.

The phase sensor is in your dizzy. It's like a half-moon magnet with two wires running from it to the top of the cap, ending in a connector. Usually the wires's insulation flake off, and they touch each other and cause these symptoms as well.
