You probably tried this, but thought I would ask, Buly.   Did you put it in 
mode 1 and hit the store button.  That should have the injectors clicking 
like mad - make certain fuel pumps are off before you do this or you will 
flood your engine (don't ask how I know).  Since you indicated it fire off 
from residue fuel in the chamber when testing the spark plugs, it sounds to 
me like you are not getting sufficient fuel.
