To all you 1.8t conversion owners!

getting power to the coilpacks and they are earthing.
getting power to the injectors as have pulled out the spark plugs and you can smell the petrol

plugged in a vag.com and only fault thats coming up is to do with throttle body position sensor.

Take it all the wiring etc is all good and done properly?

[Gash]

indeed, i trust my mates wiring since hes done a conversion before.
checked all the feeds and the earths and all fine.

You wll get fuel to the cylinders even if the injectors aren't working, Brad and I had this problem with the Caddy we did, turned out there was a broken wire in the loom so the injectors weren't getting any power. Bit of re-wiring later and hey presto, it fired up 
Failing this, it could be the injection Amplify unit, although these tend to just shut down a coil pack or 2 so unlikely.

aye run a direct feed to injectors and try that

ours was passing fuel but at a tiny rate...  needs to be a certain amount to get the car started

[Gash]

ok will give that a try. im getting a strong smell of fuel though so i could assume a fair amount is getting through, and i know i had over a quarter of a tank in there before we started the conversion

we got a strong smell also which almost made us over look this too

a tiny bit of fuel make a big smell..

not saying yours is deffo this issue but well worthy of a test, give it a direct feed to your batter, put a inline fuse in their to be safe too pal   (cant remember what colour wire it was in the loom you need to tap into sorry)

[Gash]

ok thanks, if they arent passing enough fuel through would this cause the coil not to fire at all then?

you should still get a spark if you touch it to rocker cover as you crank

are you sure your earths are all very clean and have you checked all fuses

do you now how to use a volt meter, have you checked all wiring for continuity  ??

i think you have a wiring issue personally

[Gash]

already done that yea. took the coil out, put a sparkplug in there and put it against the rocket cover, cranked over and was no spark.
used a multimeter against the coil, showed power going to them, and earthing, i havent been there when he has tested the wiring but hes assuring me that its all good and grounded fine.

hense why hes thinking its the ecu, but my thinking was if it was the ecu it wouldnt be sending fault codes through to the diagnostics port would it?
