Default cold start!

Hi everyone i am quite new to this!!

The problem i am having is my s2 erst trying to start from cold it takes a lot of cranking before it fires up then it will be fine! I have took the cold start injector out of inlet manifold and wired it up turned ignition on and thought there should be a spray of fuel but nothing happen does anyone think that is my problem??

Any help i would be very greatfull!!

The cold start valve only sprays when you crank the engine over not when you just turn the ignition on.
