1999.5 A4 1.8t. Has all the K04 upgrades you can think of and an old PC-16 flash. It was driving great and pulling like a freight train. Then I parked it at my parents for a few weeks. My dad thought he'd be "helpful" and pull the battery to charge it. Now the car wont start. The engine is turning and it sounds like it wants to start, but almost seems like its not getting fuel or a spark. Ideas? I have a stock ECU that I was thinking about putting in.

 

What is your fuel pressure when cranking?

How old are your plugs, wires and coils?

Ignition System Troubleshooting

 

I always like to answer these things in case someone else is having the same problem. Turns out I was getting no fuel, tried jumping the relay with no luck. I sprayed a little starting fluid in the air box and got the engine to turn over real quick so I knew it was a fuel problem. I had to buy the special tool to pull the fuel pump. Sure enough, its busted.

 

Check the coils and plugs and make sure they are in proper condition

 

put in junkyard fuelpump and now its running
