Default saff running problem

the car will seem to idle fine with no probs, but as soon as i pull away the carwill splutter, and i will dip the clutch the try and get the revs up and it will cut out, but last nite when i was driving home it seemed to be fine over 2500 revs but as soon as it dropped below the rev guage starts jumping around and tries to cut out. its stage 3 tune if that helps at all

there could be loads of different things wrong at present but for starters I'd take the dizzy cap off and have a look at the condition of the phase sensor wires and the gap!

ps has this problem just started and now it's getting worse?

Do the wiggle test, particularly on the cps connector.
