Default HELP!!!! car wont start...
I have a 2000 AUDI A4 that randomly decides not to start. It just cranks and cranks. I have checked plugs and it seems to be flooding itself for no apparent reason. Any Ideas???

Thanks for your help.

Scan for faults. Most likely youll have one for the coolant temp sensor.

I take it this is another common A4 fault? Thanks for posting a reply to his question - this is the kind of info I'm trying to stockpile as a relatively new owner.

A coolant temp. sensor helps the ecu determine the fuel curve and idle control at startup, and yes it is fairly common from what I have seen here.
