Default Cold start problem

On a coldstart with the coldstart injector connected my car start very fast but dies instantly. After that i need to start is for like 3 seconds. When i disconnect the cold start injector i need to start for like 4-5 seconds and keeps running it doesn't die.
I've put on a new cold start switch. I also think the car is running a little rich, sooth on the exhaust and it smells. Would a setup solve all the problems?

Thanks

The co pot on top of the meterhead is that for idle only or for general?
Nobody at my work ( Ford garage ) knows how the system works (mfi ).
I always thought that the screw behind the black box on the side of the meterhead was for mixture in general.
Problem is I don't know any garage near me that knows the Mfi system, maybe i should ask around for a tuner in my country that knows it.. hope their won't be cowboys that say they know the system and fuck up my car

Thanks

no there is a allen key screw on top of your meter head back of k+n or under airbox depends on what filter u use to adjust fuel and to adjust air fuel mix is under the throttle body. the black box is your fuel measurer unit
