i'm using a 8v'er
and sparks are dry. i believe it might be fuel starvation, but nevertheless, as i was using my constructed 'switch', it started up nicely without any coughs or misfires, the only thing is that before it warms up to normal temperature, without acceleration it tends to stall. i needed to push accelerator pedal to keep up revs.
whenever heated up to normal working temperature, it's fine, revs keep jumping a little by +-50 rpms

some time passed, but who ever has a simillar problem, might find a solution here.

why was my car not able to start properly, was because of junk filled in the fuel distributor on the air filter and a temperature sensor failure. after disassambling fuel distributor and cleaning junk + changing temp sensor the vehicle started as it should start.

hope this helps :)

Great news Tehas, fuel distributor you mean you had blocked fuel metering head surprised to be honest as it must mean the fuel filter on the rear of the car must be full of junk aswell you might need to strip it off and inspect and order a new fuel filter!
Which temperature sensor did you change, the one on the block?

yes, the metering head!
fuel filter changed for a new one as well.
and the temp sensor is this one:


electrician told me there were some cables disrupted throughout the system, which gave signal to the 5th injector (cold start injector), that's why it was not working every time it supposed to.
anyhow. PHEW !  :smug:
happy it's working as intended now
