Misfire & starting Problems on VR6 1995

Currently having problems trying to get my VR to start. It tries to turn over then dies. Eventually it will start and a massive pop and bang from the unburnt fuel.

When it is running it sounds like it is running on 4/3 cylinders.

I've tried different MAF's and coilpacks and still have the same problem.

Not sure what else it can be.......anyone on here any ideas.....please help a lass out.

Have you taking of the ignition leads...
And then mounted them in the wrong way...
The way you describe it, it sounds like it ignit in the wrong sequence..
