I think that there may by some problem with ignition but I don't have idea where I should start searching. I replaced CPS, distributor cap doesn't look bad, cables too.

Do you have some advice?
Mine had a problem where it misfired for a minute after a hot start. This was after being left for 15-45 minutes. The answer was to replace all the fuel injector valves.

Why?

Because the valves were failing to close completely and leaking fuel into the inlet when the hot engine was resting. The mixture was then very rich when restarted and took a few minutes to get back to normal when statted.

I also put new injector valve guides and seal in to make sure there are no vacuum leaks.
