Right just looked again an you havent checked the first thing that always fucks up on these engines. Air leaks, mainly from afm to sfi / power cap. Always split there.

OK,
How do you know the AFM is working? Are you basing that on the fact that you don't get an ECU light on?
Or on the fact that you have replaced it with another and it made no difference?
In either situation, i HIGHLY recommend peeling back the rubber sleeve on the plug that connects to the AFM. I had an issue where i thought i had taken the AFM out of the equation for the above reasons....untill i removed the sleeve and found the wires were severed - but connected just enough to stop the ECU from flagging the fault.
Try it.

Well if i unplug the afm when i get the car running the eml comes on and then the car cuts out so to me that means its working.

Have you checked you have a strong spark? a defective coil can still deliver a weak spark that would allow the engine to run but misfire due to the resulting overfueling. try another coil.
