98 a4 1.8t not starting
hello looking for advice/help
my car sat all weekend went to start it Monday it fired up for about 3 seconds and shut off, wont start up.
car has 150k
I have no idea if the timing belt was done or not.
had the women turn it over and I see the belts are moving (so engine is turning over)
next I pulled a plug to check for spark, it sparked on the valve cover.
next I separated the fuel line at the fuel rail, had the women turn the car over again and fuel flow was good like a garden hose.
so I have fuel and spark, but wont run.
kinda concerned that the timing jumped.
I was wondering if vag com would indicate a timing issue,
I'm hoping if it did jump time since I was not driving the car and it was just idling for 3 seconds that there wont be valve damage.
any suggestions thoughts or insight would be appreciated.
