I followed a thread but I have problems not addressed in it. Since there were two of us on the thread with potentially different problems, it was suggested I start my own thread, so here we go.
The thread in question: http://www.passatworld.com/forums/v...coil-pack-wire-harness-installation-help.html
I used the same system on my car. I've used this thread as a guide to check why my car won't start, but it still won't start.
I have a 2000 Passat built in 11/99, automatic 1.8T
I triple checked my pins got put into the correct holes.
I have my 12V connector wired to the old 121 wire and it gets 12V
I grounded my wire at the ground under the coolant tank and it measures properly as a ground
I get 12V on number 1 on each plug that goes to the coil packs
I get good resistance on 2 and 4 of each plug
My F29 relay tests good and the fuse is good
I have new NGK plugs that were listed here as what to buy, the old ones were burnt to a crisp
I have two new coil packs, the PO said that the other two had recently been replaced.
I have a fully charged battery
I have a new fuel pump and the relay tests good
What happens is that the car turns over and sounds like it wants to start but just doesn't. Before I parked it, the car ran but it was very rough. When I pulled the plugs for the coil packs, the plugs broke apart in my hand, so I figured this was the problem. Is there any advice on something else I can check?
