Send us the video of a cold start:

a) connect INPA; turn ON the ignition; open ../F5/F1/F2 (basic parameters of the engine) menu;

b) start the engine;

c) open ../F5/F6 (fuel mixture) for 3 .. 5 seconds;

d) open ../F5/F7 (Rough run data) for 3 .. 5 seconds;

e) open ../F5/F9 (injectors data) for 3 .. 5 seconds (scroll down till the end of the menu);

f) repeat points c .. e 5 .. 10 times.

If you have a feeling, that DME permanently disconnects some of the cylinders:
a) turn off the engine;
b) turn on the engine repeatedly.
When starting the engine repeatedly, DME will try to turn on all cylinders. Continue with a recording of Fuel mixture and Rough run data menu.
If necessary, start the engine again and again after some time (if DME turns off any of the cylinders).
The recorded video has to be at least 2 .. 3 minutes long.
