probably a sensor, i'd get it plugged in.. my suggestions would be ICV, you've changed that so Throttle position sensor, Crank sensor or MAF sensor

Try cleaning the crankshaft sensor. (I cleaned mine with very fine wire wool)Its located on the clutch plate housing. They tend to accumalate crap which I presume comes off the clutch plate, as it wears down. (It looks like iron fillings sticking to a magnet ) It seems to be attracted to the sensor. My car was running like shit for ages, then I actually cleaned it by mistake, ran perfectly after. Worth a try. Good luck.
