Default Engine not starting

My S8 has just started to play up again. The other day while driving on gas it struggled to rev, then the car light came on.

I turned of the engine and it failed to start on petrol, it stalls right away and its not possible to build any revs.
It started on gas and drove ok but now it wont do either.
If i try it on fuel it stalls immediately and bearly starts, if i try it on gas it sometimes works and then stalls after a few seconds.

Its usually fine starting on gas if I need to so there is defiantly something wrong.

I have checked fuel pressure which is flowing.

Im in the middle of no where in france at the moment and dont have access to an error code reader.

I have ruled out the ISV and the TB as its not even staying on if you try to open the throttle.
Does anyone know what this could be?
Maybe the MAF? or the lambdas?

Please help if you can,
Cheers.
Bo
