tomace 0 Posted October 19, 2005 Had a similar problem lately, turned out to be the hall sensor in the distributer. Just started swapping parts out of a golf GTi until i eventually found the problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

potatonet 0 Posted October 20, 2005 oh how many times we see different not starting things, man oh man. first off your plugs are completely drenched correct? well what I would do is take a plug out and watch the fuel, the fuel should be spraying in spurts when you try to start it, if it just sprays constantly your ECU needs some work on the interior electronics, check your main diodes to see if there are continuity issues between the sides. other things I may suggest are to get another ECU off of ebay or take a car somewhere to get it checked out, find out if you are near any of the good performance shops on this forum they can probably help you. Im going with ECU on this one cause mine did this... the problem is that it sprays fuel straight and no pulsing, bad data from the ECU, flooded the engine so that it couldnt even start. fuses lie! :twisted: any other conditions that we may need to know about? oh yeah check ure CO sender see if its working, it controls fuel mixture, just worth a try... probably not it tho.... If you are saying you get no spark at all, and you are just trying to start it with a plug out to see if you get spark and you get none then Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
