I parked my talon (91 tsi awd) for about a week without cranking/moving it in my shop. When I cranked it for the first time yesterday it ran like crap. I pulled each plug wire one at a time. Pulling 3 and 4 had no effect on how then engine ran, pulling #1 and #2 made the engine stumble so bad it almost cut out. The wires would ark to any ground source when pulled so it is getting spark. I put a brand new set of NGK wires on it today with no change. The plugs are NGK bpr7es that I installed less than a month ago gapped at .028". I then pulled the fuel rail and swapped the injectors 1 to 3 and 2 to 4, same problem. Then I pulled the plugs, 1-2 look good and still fairly clean, 3-4 are wet with fuel and slightly fouled, gaps were all still good. I also checked the voltage at the injector plugs and they were all 4 getting around the same voltage. Did a little research/google-ing and saw anything from ignition transistor to coil to CAS to the ECU/capacitors. Correct me if I am wrong but it appears that if the transistor was bad it would be missing on 1-4 or 2-3...not 3-4.
I pulled my ecu to check the capacitors and it looks like one of them may have leaked btwn where it says C44 and R46 on the baord:
Any suggestions would be appreciated...
