    If it cuts out at about 2000-2500 rpm it's usually the MAF at fault.

    Have you checked you wired it in correctly?

    Check timing, then do a leakdown test.

    Ca's are old and brittle these days could be a wiring issue, could be that the cas is on its way out or the maf.

    You will need to do basic checks if you want to run a 20+ year old engine at stage 3.
    I'd ditch the old-school chips and run a piggyback then you can delete maf and tune it to suit your set up.
