i've got a corsa b sxi so a x12xe engine and when i try to get it past 4k revs when pulling in anything higher than 1st the engine struggles the eml comes on and it loses power and i have to release and then re apply the throttle to get it to pull
i've had this problem for a little while now

You can unplug it to test if it is causing the problem. It wont run perfectly, but if it works better, than AFM it is.
