no afm on a 1.4 16v.
check the cts. these can cause fuelling probs. look on www.topbuzz.co.uk for a guide on how to test it. also look at lambda sensor. these are the two main fuelling sensors. there are lots of other things it could be but both of these can be tested with a set of multimeters for free.
check the plugs. are they black and sooty? thats the first sign of a car running rich.
