Rev it up,and it clears after 10-15 secs. Plugs,leads,cap,rotor,compressions all OK. Swapped MAP sensor and TPS as per computer codes but no better. Any ideas????

The only visual is that it appeared to be spotless, Refitted it, started the motor, same problem. No smoke at all, but appears to be slightly rich. But then it clea
