Not exactly sure what caused it, there are 2 shattered valves on cylinder 6 and one bent inlet valve on cylinder 3 - had to retrieve one of the smashed valves from the inlet manifold! Incidentally I have now noticed that the rear cam has had the drive gear pulled round and when the cam sensor was sat at tdc the cam itself was nowhere near being at tdc. Guess that's the piper cam ruined! I've already picked up another cylinder head and have spent a few hours stripping it down ready to be skimmed - not a huge fan of grinding valves though! I'll strip the bottom end down over a few days, luckily there are no marks on any of the bores so it shouldn't be a hugely expensive rebuild

Found the issue... [ATTACH=CONFIG]83050[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]83051[/ATTACH] Think it's going to cost a fortune to get it running now!

The injectors are definitely getting fuel, I pulled every fuse and checked they were ok, swapped the relay for a new one then pulled the rail off the car to test them. Just been out to try pulling the blue temp sensor plug, it still wont fire up! The car is fitted with a toad ai606 alarm, I have already disconnected the immobilisation circuits and replaced the original wiring in case that was the issue

Yes, the engine just turns over, not even a hint of trying to fire up. Also changed the usual relays and it still does the same thing

Well, I've spend days and days searching/reading plenty of threads about non starting VR6 engines and I'm still stumped! So, the car is a '94 VR6. Over Christmas I've changed the timing chains (rubbish job to do!!) and upon getting the car back together it started and ran fine, until it went into first gear and the shifter tower hit the live cable on the started solenoid!! Cue the dash/all electrics dying instantly and the engine cutting out. Then it wouldn't start. Read the ECU codes and it came back with the camshaft position sensor being dead, a new one (gen VW) was ordered and fitted. Still wont start, now the are no codes on the ECU - apart from the usual crank sensor, which does not appear when the codes are read while the engine is cranking over. Thought about it (a lot!!) and checked the basics. The coilpack appears fine - all leads/plugs are working fine, tried each one individually to make sure. Then I have removed the fuel rail to check the injectors are in good order - they are all working as they should when the engine is cranked over. So, I'm well and truly stumped. The engine is getting fuel, has good spark but will not do anything!! I have also tried another ECU (same part number as mine) with no luck! Any ideas would be massively appreciated - it was supposed to be in for a re-spray last week but I've had to put it off due to this!

What's the part number on the ECU?

As per the title I'm after a working ISV to suit a '94 VR6
