Have you checked daft things like
1) the accelerator linkage?
2) fast idle knob / stop lever stuck / messing you about?
3) tried starting the car with the vacuum shutdown pipe disconnected? (Don't forget to put it back after starting!)

Yes, yes and yes.
Was really hoping that it would have been something simple like that, but the injectors sprayed on to the motor when I had them externally connected, which sort of rules out those factors.
The troubleshooting on this one has been a succession of "damn, that's working", "damn, that's working as well".
