Hey Guys,
I have 1999 Audi A4 2.8 quattro. Manual.
Got it as a daily. Its been a headache ever since. Long story short... went to the store, I come back, unlock the car, I got in and the alarm went off.. so I got out - locked and unlocked and it shut off the alarm.. I get in the car to start and nothing. No start or crank. I turn the key to on> start and just blank.
Its been a week trying this. I have searched the forums, tried and Googled everything related to this problem but I can't seem to figure it out. It is driving me nuts. Here are some things Ive done:
- At first, I Jumped the battery ( thinking it just died ) Still nothing
- Checked All the fuses inside, Still nothing
- I thought it may be the clutch switch - this sensor is expensive! so I by passed it. Still nothing
- Fuel pump relay works and click ( also replaced it with a new one )
- I got a new ignition switch, replaced it, still nothing.
So the starter isn't getting power.. and neither is my fuel pump?? I checked this by removing the fuel rail and I also don't hear the pump priming. I am thinking its something with the Anti-theft or immobilizer?? cutting power to pump and starter? I kind of ruled the immobilizer out because I DO NOT have a bilking light on the dash AND people said that it would crank the car, start and then die.No?
I am honestly lost at this on what else to try... I thought it could be the starter and was going to push the car.. but if i don't have fuel, whats the point? Im thinking its an electrical glitch? Anyone??? Anyone experienced such a thing? I saw a few similar threads on this topic ( no start/crank ) but all of them can hear the fuel pump working.. unlike in my case.
All the help and opinions are greatly appreciated it!!
p.s- Anyone wants to buy the car. PM me!
