Did you check your fuel pump ?
It's not broken (since you can start it) but the petrol hose inside could have shrunk & leak back into the tank, and the motor feeding fuel to the upper (fuel pump) casing is then not getting enough.

it stinks of fuel,I'm sure thats not the problem, but maybe the cleaner is too strong and messed it all up.

Good news, hopefully all sorted.....and a cheap fix to boot !

yea, all seems fine,have left most of the stuff on that I swapped to be honest,
found a coroded lead and the rotor arm looked like it had seen better days too.

lambda light still on though?
