What is the guage reading? Fuel pressure?
I think the pressure should be around 2bar.
What is the electricaly controled valve to its right?
I'm assuming the lump on the left is climate control.
It doesnt sound like its misfiring , so what are the fuel injectors doing? Are they giving a good spray pattern?

the fuel pressure reading is on number eight on the dial as in the video
the lump on the left I’m not sure
the injectors are all spraying nicely
two of the pipes on the exaust are cold and two of them are hot
i don’t know what the electrical control valve is
sorry i can’t be of more help
