    Elated and sad, oh yeah tired

    So my brains came yesterday and when I got home from work, late- stayed up late to reinstall. Took her for a short test ride since I had to be up 430am, she drove awesome, great tune. No issues. However, went to start her this am, it's about 43 degrees and she cranks but won't start. I tried at least 4x concerned I will burn starter and drain the battery. Vagcom is in, but I have to get to work, so won't be able to do diagnostics till later tonight....a little bummed.starved for fuel?

    Check for codes, check the ecu plug and tcu plug. Do you notice the prnds look weird when you tried to start?

    prnds? right after reinstalling last night, car turned right over no hesitation, no cel, nada, I drove her for 20 minutes, she was pulling like a new beast...was grinning from ear to ear...again no issue last night and no lights-only 2 things come to my mind, not enough spark(battery was disconnected, no issue prior) or no gas, still I'm feeling blind, cause this situation would be easier if I could pull codes, alas I had to get to work.

    Park, reverse, neutral, drive, sport. On your gauge cluster or your shift plate, if they are all lit up.

    That would mean your tranny is in emergency mode, messes with the engine as well. How was it shifting last night?

    Ok, prob not that then. The codes will tell the story. Or it'll just start up when you get home.

    I second this, when you reinstall the lid on the ECU compartment, it takes quite a bit of attention not to knock the ECU relay loose out of it's socket. It's either this, or the e-prom has come loose on the ecu circuit board.
