Try unplugging the air flow meter and see if it makes a difference

Surely it won't run with the AFM unplugged?

It will run with the AFM unplugged because the ECU will have stored values to adjust air and fuel etc to back it up incase the AFM completely fucks up. With it unplugged you should notice the revs going up slightly more than normal as it will be firing through more fuel.

Mine wouldnt run without the AFM connected either. Losing fuel pressure perhaps, or dodgy injector? Any fault codes thrown up?
