I'm not 100% on this one, but mine is also doing it, and as far as i know it's the egr valve is blocked i think, but like i said not 100% sure, could do with someone confirming it

not the egr, mines the same, x12xe so far changed the following: 
coil pack 
plugs 
Air flow meter 
egr (also blanked) 
 
next on my list is throttle position sensor, as it seems to do it when i lift off slightly or put the power down, maybe not sensing my foot on the pedal until 2000rpm

Mine miss fired when cold, it was the coil pack. Feel all around it when it's running I could feel a tingly.

Gf's cars, x14xe tigra, has been doing this lately. Struggling to start, cuts out occasionally. Swapped coil pack and leads which helped slightly. 
 
She called the aa out today and he has diagnosed it as the ECT   the sensor that does the computer not the dash (whatever the hell that's all about). 
 
Thought I'd update, gonna swap this bit over and see what happens.

Although, what he has told her to replace is the CTS (coolant temp sensor) so I'm guessing that's an ECT sensor  . 
And, the eml came on and paper clip test showed up EGR valve   so I'm going to replace her EGR and CTS sensor and see what we get. 
 
Edit: that makes sense now because the coolant temp for the dash is the little metal slide on/slide off bit. ECTS would be the coolant temp sensor as I know it.
