After driving the zs home from work earlier on it would not start again wouldn't even turn over, tried it several times still the same. Unplugged the exciter wire to the starter cleaned the connections fired straight up. But it was then idling poorly and over revving. It's running normally now. I've never seen anything like it very strange

The wire to the starter is a pretty common fault, I wouldn't worry too much tbh.

It most likely ran poorly when you first started because the injectors would have been firing fuel in even though the engine wasn't turning over.
