2. The gti6 inlet manifold iv bought off eBay is a Citroen one, is everything still the same.

1. When was it last serviced? Poor spark causing misfiring? either sparks or coil packs? Does the dash do anything?
2. If they look the same then they should be the same. I am unaware of any variants. Its the same engine.

Is your manifold plugged in correctly. There is one of the plugs (I think the yellow one) that gives those symptoms if it's left unplugged.

I'd check all the plugs for water as well...
How big was the flood? I assume it wasn't high enough to reach the air filter. I've seen this issue happen with a faulty (wet) crank sensor on a HDi but may not affect the petrols in the same way.
