Hello all!
History:
I have had a 2002 1.9 L VW Jetta Mk4 since 2014. It has been awesome, I have kept up with regular maintenance as well as replaced the clutch, timing belt, water pump and AC compressor on my own.
Beginning of issue:
While moving my family it felt like I blew the clutch, turned out, I sheared all the bolts off of the passenger side axle.
Replaced it after it sat for a month. The battery was dead, hooked it up to a jump-capable starter...
The issue:
Now it cranks but will not start.
-Checked voltage to fuel cutoff valve: good
-Checked fuel lines at injectors: doesn’t seem to be getting fuel, at least the pressure isn’t what it should be.
-Checked all of the fuses: good.
-Checked the infamous relay by homing it out: its good (also wiggled it just hoping).
-Bypassed upper fuel filter (which was replaced last oil change about 5k miles ago): no luck.
Put in a new battery, manually locked and unlocked the car as well as by remote/key fob: nothing. (Also no lock/key light and it doesn’t start up then die immediately).
Conclusion:
I don’t know what else to do but rip out the main fuel pump and have it rebuilt, but that’s a last resort. Car was running like a champ up until it sat for a while.
Any ideas appreciated. Supporting a family, need to get it back on the road so momma can have her car back. I work 60+ hours per week, so please excuse me for lagging on reply.
Many thanks-
