I do have a multi-meter but was wondering if anyone could tell me any tests I could do also I here a relay clicking up under the dash when the engine changes tone at idle so was wondering if it may be the culprit

the car is a 3A engine 1989

BTW I used to have a 90 with the NG engine and it suffered from similar problems like yours and it turned out to be a faulty part somewhere on the metering head
IIRC I've told you a couple of times that you likely have worn out MAF potentiometer.

There are no relays for engine management, apart from fuel pump relay, that particular relay should be engaging something that drains enough power to change board voltage/alternator load, and again, likely because of worn out potentiometer, ECU doesn't react well enough.

As for my problem of the past - I just wanted to try different ECU and found that I've managed to bend a couple of pins.
