Can anyone help?

Try resetting your computer. The way you do that is to remove the negative battery cable for roughly a minute and then reconnect it. It doesn't fix it right away. You have to start it and keep it running for a while cause it will try to die on you again. THe problem is the computer needs to relearn after a cleaning that good. It has all the old data stored from the way it ran before the cleaning and after the cleaning air flow is vastly improved. It will take roughly 15 to 20 minutes for it to re learn. Let me know if that helps.

did you plug in the afm?

I've tried all sorts with it, but its looking more and more like the AFM has had it. I've ordered another one from a breakers that has a warrentee on it (?75 :-( ) but at least if it doesn't work I can send it back and assume I hav another problem.

However I'm getting all the right voltages down the wiring and even after the connecter inside the afm, so really I think I've eliminated all other possibilites.

It should turn up today, but if it doesn't cure this problem, I will be royally stumped.

Cheers for your help guys, I'll let u know how it goes.

is thier anyway to test if its the cables (the ones i cant reach because my hands arnt small enough)

because i sprayed the Air Flow Sensor with that spray for it so its clean and a new air filter

DRY FLOW FILTERS Gents.

I like to dis-connect both terminals for atleast 15 minutes to make sure that
The battery and the ecu have both had ample time to adjust.

It's like re-booting your pc. Sometimes you need to leave it off for a spell.

That's about the going rate here in the states for a reman'd vafm.

You should also check your timing.

Keep checking for codes. Don't idle up or you'll automatically throw a 51 and that'll be your tps.
