Resolved No start

[Volkznada]

My wife was driving earlier and the car stopped running. I have spark on all four cylinders. I have fuel pressure to the rail. I checked and replaced the 20 amp relay for the injectors. My best guess is the injectors are not firing but not sure why. Suggestions?

Theres a resistor pack on the firewall that could have gone, check out this link for more info. 1g Resistor Pack

You can listen for the injectors firing by pulling off your CAS (cam angle sensor) 1g CAS and spinning it with your finger while the key is in the "ON" position. Just listen for the injectors clicking (pulsing) as you rotate it, if they aren't then test that resistor pack with a DMM.
NOTE: When you remove the CAS take note of how its oriented in the head because it needs to go back in the EXACT same way you pulled it out, if you put it in there wrong your timing will be off.

Have fun and post up what you find!

Starter broke. Will post results after I replace it.

Starter was fine. Some sort of epic engine failure took place when trying to start the car. Thanks for the help.

Sorry to hear that. Easiest check is to remove the top timing belt cover to see if the belt broke or if it jumped timing. If the belt is intact and you can still rotate the crank with a 1/2" ratchet then check to see if all the timing marks line up. If you can't rotate the crank then you know you'll have to pull to engine to find out exactly what went wrong. Might be a spun bearing that lead to a bent rod. If you can remove the oil pan a quick visual check should show that. Look for metal in the oil pan if you can't see a bent rod or some other obvious failure like a big hole in the side of the block letting sunlight in.

Brand new dampner. Everything tourqed properly. Center bolt somehow became loose. The gear behind the damper is wobbly. Metal shavings in the oil. All this happened when starting the motor. Ill post pics of the damage.
