I struggle to see the issue :lol:

Seriously though, try disconnecting the battery and resetting again. If that doesn't work, check you've got HT leads in the right order on the dizzy and check for anything you might've left disconnected.

Failing that, good old Italian tune-up and see how it goes :wink:

Sorry, not much a clue beyond that

I had similar issue once, dodgy vacuum hose on the MAP sensor. Probably not related but worth a quick look :thumleft:
