Your first post was a useless ramble of garbage, your second wasn't any better. I also didn't understand anything you tried to write in the PM you sent me either. If you can't type a sentence then you will have no idea how to communicate with someone on a computer to fix your car. So like I said, take your car to someone who knows what they are doing.

I may be a jackass but I speak english and my cars run, how about you? That's what I thought.

Learn english, make a post people can understand, and people will attempt to help.

If you think it is a fuel problem, your fuel pump might be on its way out. I think there is a way that you can take your fuel pump off and test it before you go and buy a new one. Also, make sure your fuel injectors are spraying properly and are clean.

Your injectors might be leaking when you shut the engine off, this will wash down the oil from the rings and you wont have compression to help with starting. Next cold start pull the plugs, put in a teaspoon of oil, crank engine to blow most oil out of cylinders, reinstall plugs, start car, let us know what happens. OH, let it run for awhile to blow the smoke out of its system, or just go around the neighborhood killing all the bugs. Are you getting black smoke on semi heavy accelleration now.

It could be a weak coil too but try above first, weak coil wont sound like timing is off, what I said above will.

How long was the car sitting for? That happpened to me a few times when the car had been sitting for a few days without being used. The usual maintenance took care of it, plugs, wires, dist cap & rotor, etc.
