Did you change the ECU with matched key chip and transponder from the donor? or maybe cranksensor probs

If above done, we're they from same donor car? Could then check an clean all earth points, did donor run ok before? Prob should check vagcom on it as well, see of anything on that., and def check crank sensor as disruption may of ruptured cabling, it is very brittle on old sensors..

have a look under your distributor cap and make sure there is a rotor arm. Trust me, you never know with donor engines. Check all the basic things first.

ok all the loom and ecu came from diferent cars and rotor arm is thair ...does any body know how or even were i can get them maried up as im going to scrap the funking lot as its now causine marital stressssssssss
every tuning place ive tryed say thay dont do pre 2000 or unless it a deisel turbo thay dont want to know :angry:

Thats what i was typing before you replied When you changed the ecu you have to match the immo box and chip in key or get the whole lot from a dona car immo box behind clocks

Some have used vag com or vag tacho I just went a got a ecu immo box and key for the chip it worked out cheaper:
Reply i got when i asked:
First I would find someone with vag-tacho to see if they can read the SKC from your immo box. As without this SKC recoding can't be done easily. If they can then just buy an ecu and recode with vag-com. Some mk3's won't let you read the SKC with vag-tacho and require some more specialist tools and I don't know many people who offer this service.
Another option is replace the ecu with one with the immobiliser defeated.

Here is the layout for the relays and fuses/wiring to fuse box i said about in phone call http://www.a2resource.com/electrical/CE2.html let us know what happens when you put in relay 3 (30 or 32)

It's not hard to do with vagcom, aslong as u have a matching key to immob box, if u don't it does get tricky recovering skc code.
Anyone near by with vagcom? To help him out? :)

After talking with him today there is a lot more to it than just immo i think going from a 1.6 to 2.0 certain things were missing ie relays and thinks so on and so on
