Sounds like you could have blown the ecu.

Welcome to the mad house.

You don't seem hugely clued up on electrics judging from your replies. I would suggest getting a mobile auto electirician out to investigate the problem for you. It'll be cheaper in the long run than you throwing parts at till it starts.

MK1 Vr sounds fun!

WHere are you loacted mate? Might be someone local on here willing to take a look at it for you.

THese kinds of problems are often hard to diagnose via a forum due to the fact the the car has been converted to run the VR6 so won't have standard wiring.
