afm or cas for sure, most common problem is the afms getting dirty and melting, specially if your from out there lol. unplug it and it should start n idle, n if it stalls when u plug it back in then thats ur problem. if not then second most common is the led sensor in the cas has shat itself and u gotta replace that. this is providing theres fuel pressure to the rail etc though..

No this is certainly not the recommended way to do it... a bigger fuel pump will flow more fuel, but it is the job of the regulator to control fuel pressure. You need to increase fuel pressure with an adjustable reg (or re-tune) if you want to push more out of the standard injectors.

Check that the plug to the power transistor is on correctly, is the rev counter flicking all over the place when your driving?

Page 156 is in the Ignition System chapter. There is a subsection on pg156 that is titled Remove Crank Angle Sensor.
