Engine/ignition trouble
VW Golf Cabby 1988 1.8GTI DX engine.
Sometime ago I run up to the DIY store at full belt and as soon as I let the throttle off it started to struggle and it sounded like it was running on 3 cylinders.
Anyway put it into the garage and they found that the metering head was stuck open and was flooding each cylinder, put on a new metering head and it cured that problem, however the mis-fire is still there and what happens now is that the tick over is spot on, it revs sound until you put it under load.
When you accelerate between 1250-2000rpm its sounds like it runs on 3 cylinders, then all of a sudden it catches up with itself and i'm off like the clappers.
Unfortunately the garage closed down on Friday and I had to pull the car out half finished, but the mechanic reckoned the Dizzy was faulty.
This weekend put on a working dizzy from a similar age car, but I still have the same problem.
Yes I've changed Parts like Plugs, Leads, Dizzy & Cap & arm, Coil, gnition module and I think it maybe something different altogether
I'm really stuck, I've replaced nearly everything and I need your help?

What relays are involved with the ignition system?
Fuel system is completely new, from filler to injectors, so I know that bits fine.
