Seems more like an ignition problem.
No spark , or at the wrong time will do this.

Has the timing been checked? does it stop if you remove one of the plug leads, because it's only firing on 2? Any chance that you can change the distributor?

Where are you based?

I would still try another Dizzy, as they can be very temperamental

Update - over fuelling issue was incorrect , I am now on the lookout for a replacement 2.0 16V engine as mine has several issues and a rebuild would cost way to much .
Car is 1997 model , would anyone have an engine and costs please ? Gutted tbh but it is what is it , thanks for all the suggestions and help so far .

Do you know what is wrong with your engine, or just that the garage said it had a lot of issues?
