Default Sierra 2.8 not revving

Iam near to pulling my hair out now as to what it
could be as iam running out of ideas any advice would be greatly
appreciated.* Just a run down on what I've done.* I bought the car
after it stood a number of years as a none runner, drained the fuel
from the tank (which was basically an orange colour and stunk), blew
out the lines, changed the fuel filter, checked the timing, changed the
plugs, leads, and rotor arm,* oil and filter change (know nothing to do
with it but just as it had been sitting), now changed the metering head
and the injectors.
The car does tick over eventually but runs like a
bag of bolts and not on all cylinders and sounds terrible, will not rev
up when tried how ever if I remove the air filter lid and filter and
put my had in and operate the metering flap whilst revving the car it
revs out no problem* and sounds amazing. This is what made me think it
was a metering head fault. Is there any other unit on or around the
engine that could cause this? What's the unit that's next to the power
steering bottle with 2 fuel pipes on it and an electrical terminal.
