Hey mate, have you replaced the AFM? i would just replace the whole dizzy if you haven't sorted the CAS issue, im having issue's with mine, the car wouldnt start at all, replaced the dizzy, it now runs, but like a dog, it is undriveable so im going to replace the AFM as it will not hold RPM, it feels like every gear is 5th gear at the moment, looks absolutely mental all white btw, very clean.
