so first off i drive a 1990 Tsi Awd, with a 16g big turbo and turbo back exhaust.

so I was driving home the other day and about halfway home my car loss power. like foot to the floor would get me to about 60 km/h, and within about 5 min more of driving it completely stalled and would not restart. :mad:

So i had it towed, and started trying to figure it out. So I've tried to figure it out and have no luck. I've replaced the coolant temp sensor, Check the fuel pump and changed the fuel filter. I've got good spark and there are no codes present.

It turns over fine, but doesn't even attempt to start.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated guys.
 
Are you getting fuel?

There are literally 3 other threads that I personally have replied to on this exact same thing TODAY. A simple search will pull up thousands of the same ones.
 
Ya i checked for vacumm leaks any couldn't find any. my boost gauge was reading fine when the car lost power.
 
My guess would have been air leaks too. :/ Or it cant hurt to check your ecu. My car had a severe loss in power (what little it had. LOL) before it finally crapped on me.
 
so checked the ecu and everything looks good. Thought it might be the CAS so i checked it and it seems good also. grabed a noid light from work just to double check my injectors and they all seem to be firing fin.
