    2011 audi s5 does nothing when trying to start, dash lights on

    This is a 2011 s5 4.2l coupe 50k miles

    Ok so I will start from the beginning. About 3 weeks ago my fuel injector failed and flooded one cylynder with fuel and the car died. Finally fixed that with a new injector, and did carbon cleaning at the same time. Put everything back together and tried to start the car, took just a little hesitation but the car started and there was smoke, but i am sure that was the left over oil that was left. Had the car run for about 5 minutes, and shut it off. Started it again, this time started right away, less smoke and was idling good. Even started it a third time. Check engine light was flashing the whole time, but it was also flashing when the car died on me 3 weeks ago. So now the car was running pretty good, so i decided to try to clear the codes. Cleared the codes, car was not running when clearing, and then when i tried to start the car, nothing at all. the dash lights are on, radio works, lights work, but nothing happens at all. Theres no click that you would expect if a dead starter. I had my battery load tested and its fine, checked the connections they are good, The fuse seems to be good thats by the battery. Checked the connection to the starter/cleaned. I brought in a better scanning computer and got these 2 codes.

    05634 passive/sporadic
    power supply terminal 30, voltage too low

    12424 active/static
    Starter relay, electrical malfunction in circuit

    So I changed the starter relay thats by the windshield. still nothing.

    I did check all the fuses.
    tried starting the car in neutral .

    One thing is that there is a click/whine coming from the throttle body, but i think thats normal its just opening and getting ready for the car to start.

    I just dont know what could have went wrong, i don't think its the starter, i never had any issues with starting the car, and how could the starter just blow like that when i had started the car with no issues about a minute prior.

    Any help is appreciated guys. I want to get this thing back on the road :(

    Just to clarify, does the car turn over but not fire? or it's not even turning over?

    My RS4 has an intermittent issue with not turning over. I turn the key and the dash lights up, but nothing else. If I cycle the key a few times it will eventually fire. My theory is that it's either the starter relay which I need to change, or the starter solenoid on it's way out.

    It's not even turning over. I tried pushing in the key multiple times but no luck

    From what I've seen from the RS4 guys. The most common issue is the starter. Its possible it could totally crap out. That's probably what I would investigate first.
