Default Cosworth AFR gauge readings all over the place

Cosworth AFR gauge readings all over the place basically if you gradually build up the revs it drives and pulls fine but if you try and give it the beans instantly it will splutter and AFR readings leans out and the goes rich. it also fouls the plugs very thick dry black soot. i have replaced a load of things on it sensors etc it will just not sort itself out. any help would be massivley appreciated! Thanks.
