Efi is a headache but you'll get it. Can you confirm that the vr sensor is 9 teeth before the missing tooth when the motor is tdc?

The spark is good its blue and the only thing I can pin on it is that the ground on the coil itself is not sting enough but that's it and as far as nine teeth @ tdc I have to check but I will do that this weekend and keep yall posted thanks guys as far as what ever else you see please let me know thanks

That amount of fuel in cold start can be normal

Try to disconnect the fuel pump or fuel supply clean the spark plugs let them dry and use carb cleaner in the intake see what it does. Be carefully for backfiring.

If engine prone to start you will know that system is getting to much fuel :lol: :lol:
