And I don't see how the AFM could cause the pattern of missfire that I have. So on to new ideas...
Next step is a new set of leads - although that seems to be grasping at straws as the existing leads look fine. But I didn't replace them when I built the car so they could be the originals which makes them 25 years old!. They are Beru which is one of the OEM brands. I have decided to DIY them as a new OEM set is ££££ It's cheaper to buy the proper crimping tool and the various bits required.
At this rate I'll have a complete new engine management system.....

Have you considered fitting new plugs/sockets to the loom wires that connect to all the sensors? I had a broken connector to my TPS which caused me problems similar to yours, and I only found it by luck - I caught a wire with my sleeve while poking around at something else and it disturbed the engine revs.
There was a fractured wire/pin contact inside the connector which gave an intermittent fault that was impossible to diagnose.
My £5 is still on it being an electrical fault..........!
