VW Transporter stops and stalls

Sometimes my 1998 VW Transporter 2.5-litre petrol hesitates and stalls when accelerating from a standstill. I have changed spark plugs, distributor cap and leads, and rotor, and I have used injector cleaner, but the problem still exists. What could I do?

Check the catalytic converter to make sure it hasn’t collapsed internally and is blocking the exhaust flow.
