Default Cosworth running issues

Hi all i recently took my cosworth out for a drive, after around 30 minutes of driving at around 5000 rpm the engine seemed to die and the throttle wouldnt respond. I pulled over and the engine was ticking over as normal, but when i tried to give it some throttle it wouldn't respond, after about a minute all was fine again. The same happened again today. Any ideas, TPS? coil breaking down? any help please,

Would the Map sensor do this? Everything was ok until i put a autospecialist intake manifold on, no leaks, but i have had to Tee into the map sensor hose, for the dump valve, would this affect the map?

Check map sensor connections inside the plug, I had similar symptoms which turned out to be a broken wire/pin.
