CAR KEEPS CUTTING OUT AND CHUGGING

So Im driving my car back from work, it cuts out, fires up and runs for about 30 seconds to a minute then stops again.
after various fiddling about with disconnecting sensors etc, i think it is related to a fuel problem.
So this morning i bought a new filter, and it ran much better, it came out of limp mode, but the K Engine light was still on (has been on for a while)

Took the car for a good run, felt back to normal and ran brilliantly, until on the way home, i drove through a puddle and it cut straight out again.

The internet has giving a huge range of answers, such as ECU, fuel pump, cut off switch,FPR ....

Can anyone help?
cheers,
rob
