Over fueling due to a dodgy lamda sensor or water in the connectors maybe? Injector stuck open?

Sounds like an injector bud.

so if it is injector would it cause it to cut out.is there a way to bypass the lambda sensor to rule that out.

You need to plug the laptop in to see what the Lamdas are doing.

Hp internet needed, you need to download the software firth though. The connector is on the main ECU board so yes you need to open up the ECU.
