However if it is the shutoff valve or its seal that's leaking (the black box on the side of the IP) then it could very well be causing or at least contributing to this problem.

I don't think it's the K40 relay because in my experience a bad one would cause sudden engine shutdowns instead of rough running. I don't know about the MAF sensor as my car doesn't have one, but I believe yours does and if it is bad it could be causing the K40 relay to mismanage the fuel delivery. First, though, I'd take care of the leaks. I assume your fuel filters are fairly fresh and your prefilter o-ring seals well, otherwise they could be the problem too.
I am doubtful of the pre-filter anyway so have ordered a new one as mine varies from dark brown to black,although there is no visible leak,cheap insurance.
I have not experienced any shutdowns,just the lack of acceleration which is permanent now,anybody RENT code scanners???otherwise i'm fumbling in the dark,I suppose.
