No start and Im an idiot

[95BoostedDSM]

Ok, so i got a problem with my 96 tsi AWD. I was out late one night and i found a stone parkin lot so i went and did some Ken Block kinda stuff u know, Like i said im an idiot, but any way i was in the middle of a sweet ass donut and my car dies and will not start back up like i cracks and cranks but nothing. I got it home and started workin on it, i changed the crank sensor the cam sensor the thing behind the radio the computer. Um what else tested all the coils wires plugs but still no spark sorry i didnt say that earlyer. what am i missing?? Any idea ###z help and sorry if i broke any rules on this post i just need some other DSM brains on this with me Thanks

First thing I check when no start is valve timing. Do you have a logger?

Sounds like timing belt is missing a few teeth.

 

[spatulahunter1]

check the coolant temp sensor, that was one of my problems causing a no start condition

 

[95BoostedDSM]

no i dont have a logger but timing marks r dead nuts on. and i have replaced the coolent temp sensor and still nothing.

 

[96eclipzGsT]

You need compression, spark, air, fuel for it to start. If you are sure timing is on then move to the next step. Which one do you not have?

Make sure you didn't blow off any intorcooler pipes. Happend to me too many times to count.

all piping tight and im getting fuel air but no spark. i have tested all the ignision compnits and there all good

 

[bluegs03]

pull the wires out one by one and see if any of them are getting sparks, if any of them are you know the ignition coil is good, if not then it can only be 1 of 3 things. Ignition coil, power transistor, or CAS. Of course your battery might be dead, and also theres the ecu issue, but if when you turn the car to the "on" position and the boost gauge goes to the middle then your ecu is good.

is the fuel pump coming on? some vehicles (namely fords) have a relay in them that trips during a collision/bump/messing around causing the fuel pump to die to avoid fires (again, for collision). If the timing is good, and it just died, check for spark, and fuel pressure at the rail.

I have tested all ignition componits and all have tested good still no spark on any plug but i dont think its ignition. i have two computers for the car and i have tryed them both. Fuel pump is pumping fuel all the way up to the fuel rail.

Check the crank sensor behind the balancer, make sure it is plugged in. It may not be working.

i have replaced the crank sensor and its pluged in

findly gave up admitted defeat and took it to my guy. I told him every thing u i done and every thing u guys has said so thanks for it all. When i get the car back I will have to let u know what it was. But thanks for all the help.

this is kinda funny... .. i did this one time.. i changed my CPS.. (crank position sensor) and i had it on backwards.. , and it killed me.. no spark for like 3 weeks... i had everything in... just like you... fixed EVERYTHING... CAS, CPS, MAF, everything... and no start... i broke down and opened up the timeing case again.. and my trigger plate was completely behind my CPS, rofl, i had it flipped around... so i flipped it... and VROOOM, no issures... i'd check it... trust me... i did it,, anyone can do it..

 

[95BoostedDSM]

Ok. I got good news and i got bad news i got it to fire. The crank sensor was put on backwards. But, now its only firing on two cylinders #2and3. I put a differnet coil and used two diffrenet computers. Any ideas???? I was told that the 8 pin connector thing idk what to call it, sorry but i hope u know what im talking about, could be the reson. ### help

PTU maybe?
