Do you have all your intake pipes on and no leaks? unplug your afm and see if it runs better

Yeah I couldnt really tell anythin was wrong when I unplugged the AFM other than the EM light was on. Have you had the distributer off and had a look in there? all the leads in good condition?
You did unplug the AFM before sturning the ignition on didnt you? then the ECU recognises thats its not there and ignores any signals from it

my rev counter will go to about 3k if i turn it over on the starter for a while if the engine cant start (forgot to plug the fuel pump back in the other day)
are there any splits or kinks in the pipe going to the ECU? Has this just been converted or has it been running in this car and all of a sudden the problem has come up?
