99 A8 Won’t Start
I have a basic OBD-II reader that shows no error codes. The car ran fine up until the time I had the driver’s side front well up on a jack swapping out the lower suspension bars and upper tie rod.
I started it once in this position then a second time work the steering. On the second time, it started to sputter and knock so I turned it off. Got it flat on the ground again and it won’t turn over. The starter is the only thing going off.
I put in a new fuel filter, fuel pump and sending unit, all of which work. I am getting gas to the fuel rails. The ECU units (2) are new also. I tried bypassing the fuel regulator to no avail.
I had previously switched out the spark plugs and tested the coils because of a misfire due to a bad ECU.
Is there another sensor or module which may have something to do with the ignition?
I’m new to this so please excuse any ignorance on my part. Any ideas?
