Yeah, thats the ECU, but WHY did you disconnect it in the first place? If you cant drive your car, how did you get the ecu scanned for fault codes? I know you say no codes are coming up, but do you have vag com or a hand held OBDII scanner?

When you turn your car to the on position (not started but just on) do you have a CEL light on? Just wondering. If it's not on then your ECU might not be talking to the rest of your car.

Thats what Jeff Moss at Torque Factory said when I was getting my car tuned.

I am talking about right now. Normally if you just turn your car's ignition to the on, don't start it, do you have a CEL or Check Engine Light on? If it is then your ECU is talking to the rest of your car. If that light is not on then your ECU is not talking to your car.

how about we start real easy here. Check the fuses. Does the car turn over? Have you verified spark or fuel? Pull a coil out leave it connected stick a screw drive in the tip of the coil (let go of the screwdriver) crank the car see if you have spark.
