I believe I have and electrical issue, timing has been checked and double checked, then checked and double checked again it's spot on. I bought this in December off a kid in town, it hasn't ran going on a year now. I finally pulled it into the shop. The kid I bought it from said he was driving down the highway and it just stalled.
I purchased a timing belt and did the repair. I noticed one bolt from the water pump came out sitting behind the balancer when I pulled it. The ip was 2 teeth out, the key way wasn't lined up. I lined everything up slid the new belt on. Slapped it back together, crossed my fingers and it still doesn't fire. Ip is bled to the injectors, wd40 will make it catch, just won't run on its own. (I do know the risks of using a starting agent with these engines, please don't make it a debate of how wrong it is. Just trouble shooting) The flap is open on the egr while cranking.
I do hear clicks in engine compartment, glow plug light comes on then goes out. Fuel sensor is getting 12 volts, and ground is good. There is an engine light on, having issues with that as well.
I guess my question is where is the ecu located, i can't seem to get any of my diagnostic tools to hook up and read the car. Link failure on 2 of them, i got the freebie vcds it won't hook up either. I can how ever get it to read my son's 03 1.8t.
Can anyone point me into the direction of electrical end of trouble shooting please. Thanks in advance
