Long story short I picked up a jetta cheap with the engine out (guy said he did timing belt, clutch, new trans because the old one had a slow leak) i got it bolted in and have 90 % of the sensors connected, the only one noteably missing is the input speed sensor into the trans. It cranks but no start, no noticeable smoke no noticeable diesel smell(makes me think fuel related..) has fuel, has fuel all the way to the steel lines running across the engine. I have codes P2100, P0128, P0299, P2564, P0303, P0673, P0203.
though there are definetly codes that need attention, none of these to my knowledge should cause a no start. I have cranked this thing plenty long to the point where it should have atleast popped or showed some sign of life, so i dont think its the #3 glow plug, i ohmed out the plug and its shot, will replace once i get the thing to fire. the rest are mainly out of tolerance values, which again i dont think would cause a no start. what should i look at here? any ideas?
