Alright before I delve in, lemme get some backstory.
I did some time in the can and my DSM (91 TSI AWD) sat for about 4 1/2 months.
Prior to that it ran just fine. But now it turns over and won't start. At one point I had to replace the ECU which blew a capacitor. My girlfriend believes its just the fuel going bad, soon I'll test that theory.
What gets me worried though, is that when we hook the battery back up, the headlights don't raise up, though the brights turn on, the running lights come on, and the blinkers work.
Also we kinda broke the ignition lock. My ex stole the key and I have no intention of contacting her without going through the courts. Does this car have antitheft? Looking around I haven't found much.
Unsure if the two problems are related.
I'll update when I get new gas.
