Have you checked the plenum chamber for debris and dirt
I had a similar issue in my saloon and that was the cause... Along with a dodgy seal on the ECU housing.

Not the top lid, but below that.
There was leaves and dirt in that space, but I also had the seal around the ECU which failed.
The plenum chamber filled up with water, then went through the seal and into the footwell
