What checks have you done, is there and spark or injection at all? Sounds possibly like a crank or cam sensor failure.

Also if you unplug the new AFM it will rule that out as a fault, it should switch to a get home mode and start if thats at fault. Usually faulty air flow meter's restrict the revving on the ecotech

It sounds like crank/cam sensor related issue. It needs going on a diag tool and checking for data at cranking to see if its producing a signal.
have you fitted champion plugs ? sometimes the r plugs create a lot of noise and knock the sensor signals out if the shielding is weak.
Air mass faultr will flag up on a vectra if they keep stalling or cutting out or too much interference from plugs!!
