I have a 1g Tsi with 2g pistons 1g rods... I removed my Greddy emanage because the car wouldnt re start after running awhile... And now the car wont fire at all...I checked my MPI fuse, my Rewire fuse, AND I have a full tank... I started messing with the cas and i went from end to end to and still nothing even close. Any ideas?

Note: Emanage harness is still hooked up but everything is spliced in. the wires that had to be cut and looped into the harness are back in there original loop.
 
Do a compression check. Check for spark. Then check for gas. Replace your spark plugs. Set your timing correctly.
 
Basically, you have to start eliminating possible faults and go from there. You need fuel, spark (with proper timing), oxygen and compression in order to run. Here are some (but not all) starting points for you in no particular order. Good luck.

Check fuel pump: (mine died once and I had the same problem)
-activate the fuel pump via the fuel pump test connector along the firewall near the battery and verify fuel pump is turning on.
-verify proper fuel pressure (~37psi (base) for 1G)

Check that the injectors are firing:
-use injector noid light
-spin CAS and listen for injector pulses

Check for spark at each cylinder:
-possible faults include coils, power transistor, wires and plugs

Check that the timing belt is still intact and in proper alignment.

Check MAF and CAS are functioning properly

Check ECU caps.

I've also heard that under certain conditions a faulty coolant temp sensotr (CTS) can prevent the car from starting.
