non starter, making progress
« on: 30 April 2012, 21:48 »
so my golf wasnt starting, it was just turning over and not catching, although it was getting spark and fuel.
Now tho i have got to the point where its catching but not firing up, any 1 got any ideas?

my golf seems to have something similar, have to press the throttle to get her running..
am gonna hook her up to my vag-com program and see what it says, will post the results here as well as my topic :)
fingers crossed it's not the injectors.. clogged ain't so bad, dump a bottle of redex in and you're sorted, but if they're actually faulty.. dollaz.

my AGG Engine in the 3.5 cabby does this, will turn over and over, pressing the throttle fully and holding it puts the ECU into flood mode to clear a flood, not sure what it actually does,  never get a fault code as the standard OBDII system doesnt seem to be interested in whats going on
