Clean the EGR (Exhaust gas recirculation valve) or ERV as mentioned above with carb cleaner.
Its the silver circular thing infront of the exhaust manifold. (its directly in front of the bonnet catch)
Also remove the idle control valve and clean with carb cleaner.
also remove all breather pipes and clean with carb cleaner.
(For the Idle control valve youll have to remove part of the inlet manifold to get access to it as its right at the back of the engine bay)
if you want any more help just u2u me.

tell u the truth. She sounds fucked
check the oil. on your dip stick
then c if it is discolored there could be fuel in with your oil.
If there is fuel in the oil. the oil will be thinner and the parts in the engine wont be getting propper lub!

check ur vacuums on the back of the air filter, there should be 2 pipes a red and a black one, make sure they are connected, if not it stops ur airflow and causes ur car to stall, my mate had the same problem after he fitted an induction kit,he forgot to plug up the vacuum!!!. try that man
