    b5 s4 stg 3 won't start

    hi my sty 3 s4 won't start just happened yesterday after sitting for a week now it doesn't run, the car has a half tank of gas brand new plugs, 2 new coils, deka 60lb injectors. the car turns over and will sputter then die, then i started it again and it was sputtering idling at 200rpm then soon as you touch the gas it stalls out like its starving for gas, previous codes that the car had was for the map sensor and maf sensor the car had a miss and was planning on getting it professionally tuned now this. if you guys know what it is thanks

    So it drove perfectly fine before sitting? Are you forgetting to tell us anything?
    Sounds like a boost leak or bad maf. Try unplugging the maf and see if it starts.

    Fuel pressure at the rail? Sounds like a bad fuel pump.

    no it didn't drive fine at all, i have berttos (nefmoto) tune and the car would misfire all the time and would hit boost and fall flat on its face, the codes are 16621. 16490, 16684, 16689, 17536. i had the mad unplugged and it still had the exact same issue

    Highly unlikely the injectors are plugged up. Did you verify fuel pressure by pressing the schrader valve in (don't get fuel in your eye!). With a crappy tune you could have fouled the plugs. Pull one out and see if its soaked in fuel. Do you have a stock edu to plug in?

    Google these codes and let us know what they come up as. Just google "vag code 16490"....etc etc.

    There are only 2 things needed to make an Audi work properly - Duct tape and WD40. If it moves and it shouldn't - Duct tape. If it doesn’t move and it should - WD40.

    the car ran mint before i put the injectors in i was running a stg 3- tune and it would run great other then miss a little because of my shitty stock plugs that were in the car, now that i put the dekas in and ngk bkr7e the car runs like a bag of crap, the codes are for map sensor, manifold pressure sensor, and random misfire cyl 2 and 5, you can hear my fuel pump in the trunk, last time i tried unplugging an injector, (the wire) there was no change in idle or anything even when i disconnected the map sensor ii still noticed no difference. should i swap stock injectors back in with my other ecu?
