Hi Neil, maybe give a bit of background on the problem. What parts have you changed? What parts have you tested to make sure they are ok? I'm guessing by idling all over you mean it varies a lot and is not steady. Whats the idle range? Does it stay at idle does it gut out.

 

I would make sure you haven't got any air leaks letting air in after the AFM.

I have changed the AFM, dizzy , temp sensor, spark plugs and leads, oil and filter change , fuel filter, anti freeze flush . Car starts straight away but without keeping foot on the accelerator for first few mins revving to 2-3000 it will cut out, once warmed up the car then drops to 650 ish idle then back to 1000 then almost feels it's chugging when ticking over ? When revving the engine then feels very lumpy ? Any other thoughts ? Thanks

Have you checked the resistance values on the ECU Coolant Temp Sensor I have had new ones that don't read correctly. The resistance is easy to read with a multi meter. The correct values are on this site somewhere you should be able to find them with a search. So I would check all the pipes for air leaks and check the ecu coolant temp sensor to make sure its giving the correct values first.
