Make sure they are clean and making contact. I had a similar problem with an injected engine in a fiat which I finally traced to a dodgy throttle position sensor with an intermitent fault, thus fooling the ECU every now and then. So if you can check that all the various sensors as well to make sure that they are working correctly Make sure that your inlet manifold is not leaking air, not just the hoses, plus you have no leaks downstream of the air flow sensor (if you have one) Also if possible make sure that the ignition timing is correct. Finally check that you are getting the correct fuel delivery from your tank, You can disconnect the fuel line and then by turning on the ignition and pushing the air flow sensor the pump should run. You should get a reasonable flow about 1 litre/min (?) if not check for crushed/crimped fuel lines, tank not breathing correctly. If you can't do it yourself/haven't the tools take it to a specialist fuel injection place such as Lucas or Bosch as they tend to know what they are doing.
