Hmmm... Spark Plugs? they're only 1 year old and i went less than 10,000Kilometers with them.

I am guessing it's the coil packs.

Its not your coil packs. If you put a screwdriver in the end of the plug wire and lean it against the chassis and crank, you should see a spark arc from the screwdriver to the chassis.

Flooded???
Well i managed to switch it on after couple of attempts and drove it 500kms, travelled to the UAE, then i switched off for refueling and then tried to switch it on and it worked no problem smoothly.
But the real problem is at a Cold Start, when the engine is cold! There's when i face problem.

Help is a bit late here.... I have a theory that seems to work, but nobody has mentioned it here. My car, when cold in the morning will crank and crank and makes me wonder if it will start before the battery is run down. However, if I crank it for 5-6 seconds then stop cranking for about 10-15 seconds, then it will fire up right away. I think the injectors are dry initially and the short crank fills them, so the second crank has some fuel to burn. Why the injectors are dry could be the above mentioned "turbo valve", and or leaky injectors. I have a different problem case: if The car has been traveling and the engine is fully warm or hot, and I park it for 20-30 minutes and then try to start it again, there is a chance it will either not fire or take a long time to start firing. Again my theory is that the injectors are dry from evaporating in the fuel in the hot engine. In this case cranking and pausing also seems to work, but the wait usually works better if it is a little longer; maybe needing some gas evaporative cooling so liquid gas can fill the injectors again. In this case you might want to just sit back for a while, maybe have a beer before trying again, especially if you are somewhere that might require a tow to get somewhere comfortable.
Free advice, for what it is worth.
