MATTT Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Hi everyone, my loved mk4 is refusing to start No spark is getting to spark plugs, I have replaced coil pack, leads, plugs and crank shaft sensor. Nothing worked! Car ran fine until loss of power then stalling,then refusal to start. Can anyone please advise me on what to try next.

jeebowhite Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Sounds like your not getting an electrical connection to the coil pack, have you checked the connection between the battery and the coil pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATTT Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 It's getting power. It gets really hot when key is at ignition. Had an auto electrician round today. Couldn't find the fault. I'm really at a loss now. The new coil pack wasn't the cheap option so I'm fairly sure its not faulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 it shouldnt be getting that hot :S are you sure its not short circuiting somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATTT Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Auto electrician says its ECU. Found a car for sale that's identical to mine. Might just buy it and swap over all my good parts. Heart breaking but think it has to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Probably the better option unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPig Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Check the ECU plug first, make sure the connections are clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATTT Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Got hold of a second hand ecu with transponder etc. All numbers and code match mine. Hopefully that might bring it to life. Anyone know if it will require programming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
