Joakim if you have leaking injector seals i would start there first .Check out all the small micro vacuum pipes and joints ..around the engine along with the fuses in the fuse box give them a turn in fuse holder. And check all earth points .All these help the starting up of the engine... The fuel distributor sits on a large rubber boot type seal .These leak through splits.. Do you have a manual ?
