What voltage is the AFM getting to at that point?

What does the CRO say about the signal coming off the CAS?

What does the wideband say about the mixtures?

Have you tested for boost leaks?

Is the knock sensor going nuts?

Why are your coils in place but the cam covers not?

A CRO is a Cathode Ray Oscilloscope, which is commonly used to diagnose signal problems with CASs. Of course it doesn't have to be an old school CRO these days. You can buy USB cheapies that plug into a computer or phone.

And how do you know that the AFM is good? I asked what its voltage was at the trouble point. We need to know if it is saturating at 5V or something equally horrible.

You don't have a wideband. You would need to install one up the tailpipe and check the mixtures at the problem point.

These are all diagnostic approaches that you need to follow to track down a mystery problem.

has the CAS got the washers between it and the bracket?
Is the dwell setting correct for coils?

ya I don't see the washer/gasket behind the cas this will cause issues. also I changed my coilpacks and plugs still had a misfire and wouldn't rev up same as you. ended up being the harness itself to the coilpacks.  looks like you have upgraded coilpacks, what ecu are you running? as gtsboy stated you need to check your maf voltage before you do anything mate. start with the easy stuff you cant just assume your maf is good. get your hands on another one and try that if you dont want to test it. this is where I would be starting.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
