Don, I agree with Rip -- there doesn't look to be anything obviously wrong in the scan. Doesn't look like the car cut out during the scan.
The only weird event is the IAC going baswah at 104secs.
How to proceed is hard to give advice but generally speaking:
1. Check base timing and note whether you get a solid or variable strobe.
2. Check tickover.
3. Check electrical connections to sensors around the engine (loom connectors behind airbox)
4. Check earth connector to O/S of of manifold (below O/S/R engine hoist eye). Check both ends.
5. Remember that Elanscan stops at the coil packs -- the ECU tells them when to fire but has no idea whether that results in spark, so ensure plugs & leads are in good condition.
6. Pull a plenum vacuum hose while engine running, if revs rise then you don't have a leak, if they don't rise then you do have a leak.
There is advice for base timing, tickover and more in the fine WIKI
Others may have better ideas for why it cuts out at junctions.
If nothing above shows anything my gut feeling would be coil packs but please note this is very much instinct.
Think it would be worth swapping them with known good packs and seeing if the problem is gone before spending pennies on new ones.
There is a new set of MSD packs on the SE in South Cumbria if you fancy a run out.
Good luck.
