95 TSI AWD - Car started and idled for about 30s before just dying. NOTE: I noticed my tachometer was not working and idle was pretty high, but I assumed it was due to the weather (Was about 20f out). Car would not start afterwards. I noticed this morning that I installed the WB incorrectly and accidently attached pin 76 to the harness wire as well, instead of tying it off. I untied harness from pin 76 splice but still a nogo. Gauge is calibrated, and LC1 cycled from .20 to .80 in link a few times when I was trying to turn it over. White wire is grounded to pin 92 correctly.

ECU had been inspected by ecmlink prior to install, and I just inspected it again. Nothing looks much different. Any help would be great.
 
Solution
***UPDATE*** In case anyone running into the same issues. I, for some reason, thought I bought a 97 ECU and had DSMLink socketed in it. It is a 95 ECU!

I had the wires in the wrong order "3214". When I switched to "4123" it fired right up. I'm an idiot :banghead:
After looking at all 3 logs i don't see anything that looks off setting wise. Was the car running prior to installing the wideband ?
Ye it was. Very sluggish, but I could atleast drive it around the block. I noticed when installing the WB that pin 76 o2 wire was snipped like someone cut their WB out and never tied it back. Going to assume that's why it was running sluggish.

An idiot you are not. You have learned something, and you were kind enough to share the resolution here, so you are good in my book. Thanks for updating everyone. Glad you got it sorted!
