Swap the injector on number 2 to another cylinder and see if it follows - if so, ring tomorrow and we'll try and sort a solution for you

i just have visions of it being something horrible
compressions are dead even hot and cold, loom is new, ecu was tested not long ago,
i dont know what else it can be really,
i dont get why it runs fine, then does this on over run, i suppose the injector could be firing consantly, during the normall running it masks the fault and burns the fuel off, but it causes agro on over run

Pull the fuel reg pipe off the penum and suck hard, see if you can suck fuel through it.

its not injector, its not plug lead, i reckon its something with the bore, maybe i honed it to much to remove the damage from the valve seat,
