Hello all,

My Audi has been sitting in its parking space for the last couple weeks. It won't start, and I'm running out of ideas.

Details on work already done:

Initial troubleshooting revealed a lack of fuel pressure in the fuel lines, and I thought I had a handle on the problem. I checked the relevant fuses, and replaced both the fuel pump and the fuel pump relay. I now have confirmed fuel pressure. However, the car still will not start.

If I spray starting fluid into the throttle, the car will fire up, and run briefly before the fluid dies out. This leads me to assume that I have spark and compression, so fuel is still not getting to where it needs to be. Is this a reasonable assumption? Any suggestions for next steps? Thank you, any help would be appreciated.

 

Hello, I am a new owner of a 1998 A4 Quattro it would not start it would try almost start,I changed the coolant temp sensor about $20.00 and it started, read somewhere that sensor makes it act like its flooded ( any way it worked for me)

 

where are you testing the fuel pressure?
