Mass Air Flow Meter?

yes, the Mass Air Meter has been changed, no effect on this problem!
Noticed a strange phenomena;.. with the 3 pole plug removed from the distributor the engine will start and idle, what is with this?

(The car run ok prior to getting a new exhaust system welded on, then a few weeks later it got cold and wet and the trouble started).
