What engine does this car have?
I'm new to the game. Unfortunately, that doesn't tell me anything.About 22 measurements blocks
Is there a specific measuring value you're looking for?I'm new to the game. Unfortunately, that doesn't tell me anything.
In my opinion, it must be something that is giving the control unit false information,
I'm not experienced enough to eliminate anything.So you are eliminating any chance that this could be an "Actuator" issue
And I'd like to know whether you can look at the device so closely to know what it's choking on.
Likely a Very Wrong opinion that !!But it always starts perfectly and runs well for a few seconds. So I'm sure it's not a false air, or faulty ignition cables or plugs.
In my opinion,
That's what I think. This "Open Loop" - "Closed Loop" thing
It starts fine, and runs nice for a few seconds. Until it gets faulty values from a sensor.
A multi channel Oscilloscope simultaneously looking at Crank for RPM, o2, Secondary Ignition (all 4) would paint a pretty picture !!
Is it possible to list the 22 MVB's that are available to OP here ?Is there a specific measuring value you're looking for?

It might be, if the OP were to post an Auto-Scan. But not without seeing the ID data from his ECU because I don't recall what part numbers an AKL ECU might have.Is it possible to list the 22 MVB's that are available to OP here ?
VCDS will only display whatever data that YOUR ECU is configured to deliver. VCDS cannot go in and extract data that is not on offer.Is this setup delivering any life data that VCDS can read on a running engine? Like tempratures, crank and/or cam revs.
Nope - The limitation is You, Your Knowledge, Your lack of ToolingThere seems to be no practical way to diagnose something on this particlar car on my own. Limitations are given by its age.
The Scope is an essential tool for the modern day technician - even for a 30 year old car !! All the VM's are now insisting on them.It can be done .. scope and so on.
I've given you the knowledge and some test plans - Would you like the forum to buy / lend you the tools that you need to fix YOUR car ?But it'll be more time and money consuming than giving it the car to a pro, that has the tools and the knowledge.

If you can find good one !! Most will start by bolting bits on !!But it'll be more time and money consuming than giving it the car to a pro, that has the tools and the knowledge.
