CA18 Idle Problems

Hey guys, just after some advice on the CA. The car starts fine and runs no problem when you keep the revs up, but it won't idle. If I unplug the AFM it idles fine. I have had the engine up to full operating temp and still the same issue. ECU fault codes show normal, I have also tried another AFM off a running car and still getting the same results. I am waiting for a third AFM but I'm thinking it could be something else? Has anyone else had this issue and resolved it? Or any suggestions?
The car drives fine it just won't idle.

Check the temp sensor mine didn't idle properly until i found the wire to the sensor was cut. Been like it for years.

I think you hit the nail on the head with that one Steve! Was working on it tonight and when I jiggled the loom near the temp senser it corrected the idle. I'll rewire it back to the ecu and that should fix it. I'll keep you updated on how it goes after that. Thanks for your help.
