so I degreased the engine and sprayed it off now it turns over but wont start :cry: what is up :confused: what should i do now ? will it start when the engine drys? has anyone else had this problem any help would be great thanks its a 91 tsi
 
my brother had this same problem just let it dry(give it a day) then it should start u probaly forgot to spray silicone on wires,coil ect
 
i would let the engine dry off then try to start it .. it should start after it has dried
 
Did you make sure to cover up your CAS and Intake? Did you use a regular garden hose or a high pressure sprayer?

Make sure all of your plugs are all good and tight and wait for it to dry.
 
Pull the plug wires, and let everything dry. Replace wires and start. If nothing then check all of the electrical connections on the ignition and sensors.
 
well its been about a day and a half and still the car wont start pulled plug wires and im getting no spark so do i check and how because this car ran perfect before guess i should have left the engine dirty
