Battery light should be on with engine not running and ignition on.
What is the car ? Eng., year, miles, etc.
Check fuses. Get it scanned and post the codes.

 

^ X2 check all fuses and get it scanned, check and make sure timing belt is intact and functioning fine. Does your rpm gauge move up to around 150-200rpm while cranking the car over?

 

i just got up from the bed and going to check all the fuses and timing belt. there are no codes, check engine light is off

 

You say that fuel is delivered to the injectors. How do you know that? And check engine light off doesn't mean that there are no codes. Did you scan it?

 

there is that pipe where you can uncrew it right under the engine cover and gas started squirting out so gas is there
and i did plug the scanner in, nothing
by the way...
i checked for spark plugs today again, there is no spark on any of them... any suggestions? i have brand new coil packs
i looked at relays, tried to switch them around to see if maybe one of them will be dead but no effect, however three of them were darkened on their legs, could that mean anything, i called dealer and asked what are they responsible for, they told me one of them is fuel pump, another closed connection and third one they couldnt tell me cuz didnt have description
i also checked for timing belt, nice and tight
when car cranks, rpms go up

 

Guys that's not an issue...

It was an issue for most of this thread, we can't diagnose without info.

i checked for spark plugs today again, there is no spark on any of them... any suggestions? i have brand new coil packs.

IIRC Fuse 12 is only for the OBDII Port.
You won't get spark without a fuse in pos. 29. Check the fuse holder, what's that mess I can see in the pic. ?

i looked at relays, tried to switch them around to see if maybe one of them will be dead but no effect, however three of them were darkened on their legs, could that mean anything,

You should not swap relays around unless you know what you are doing, some are wired differently internally.
The darkened connectors could be causing, or caused by a connection problem.

But forget about relays until you have 12V on each side of Fuse 29.

Did the 20A fuse blow again after you replaced it ?

 

you have the old coil pack ? try that back on again see if you see any difference, couldn t hurt anything to try this, anyone concur ?

 

yeah i still have the old ones
okay ill give it a shot, well, you never know

 

No spark on any plug would not be a bad coil on a 1.8T (which is what his profile says he has). Unlikely all would fail at once.

 

okay looked at old ones and no effect
i had a thought, what about Ignition Control Module? CVould that be it?

 

That depends, what year is your car? I feel like all essential information should be in the OP.

 

2001.5 passat 1.8t AWM engine

 

So is this a pre-2000 passat?

Mentioning the model year and other such basics like scan results, etc, is the best way to prevent this :banghead::banghead:

glad you found your problem

EDIT: a 2001.5 passat with an ICM? is there any black flat thing attached to the top of the airbox?

 

So this is a pre-2000 passat.

Mentioning the model year and other such basics like scan results, etc, is the best way to prevent this :banghead::banghead:

glad you found your problem

so you also think its ICM?
i looked but dont see this module anywhere though...

 

ICM was only in the AEB engine, MY 98-99. Your car has ECU communication straight to the coilpacks.


Try scanning with VAGCOM, probably be more helpful than this guessing.

 

i only have obd, dont have vag com...

 

If you were working on the abs stuff what did you unplug and replug in? If you undid anything under the coolant tank id check again.Something could have not fully clicked together and vibrated loose. check fuse 29 specificly for the ignition. Also ecm fuses. If all is good; there could be an issue with the crankshaft position sensor. It sends signal to the ecm for spark.

 

From abs I only unplugged harness and this small plug from the bottom, nothing else. Okay ill check for 29 fuse. Maybe it also would be. Good idea to take alternator out and send for check to autozone?

 

The problem is not the alternator, and you don't need to remove it to test it.

Is there 12V at both sides of fuse 29 ?
If not at either side, check Motronic power supply relay.

Why the secrecy about what your car is ?

 

If your car has an ICM, yes it could be that.

 

do you have a spare ecu by any chance, or a friend or family member w the same engine code as yours, AWM? if so try swapping the ecu w a different one. I recently had unexplainable misfires, and it turned out to be the ecu was the problem. mine is an aeb w diff coilpacks than yours and an icm, but maybe worth a shot just to rule it out anyway, because this happened totally out of nowhere to me and I tried so many diff things before thinking to try a diff ecu, and when id did it fixed it right away..like I said just something to think of trying...good luck

 

I only one know one person who has passat and its 2000... So that wont work

 

I would try and get it scanned with a vagcom. They tell you so much more than an obd-ii will. Use this and see if anyone in your area has one and would be willing to scan it for you.

VWVortex.com - Vag-Com Locator searchable map style! Owners pm me your info requested in the thread

 

VAG-COM is usefull for a lot of problems, but only if there is an electrical signal that the control modules are set up to read. An ICM output stage, or fuel pump for instance, won't directly flag a fault code, so you have to use other methods to troubleshoot to component.

 

No secrecy lol it's Vw passat 2001 b5.5 1.8t awm engine, sedan

 

No secrecy lolits Vw passat 2001 b5.5 1.8t awm engine, sedan

I think you ought to edit this sentence and put a space in the right place.

 

^ first post material right there.

Check voltage on either side of ignition fuse and report back.

 

im going to do it sunday
i just got outta work, its 11pm and tomorrow i work 13hrs shift
ill update asap

 

Earlier today i decided to look at relays and maybe just switch the same ones around to find if maybe one of them is bad (my only way - idk how to check relays) and I found that this fuse was blown up:

Also, am i missing somwhere where i wrote on the pic? I replaced the fuse but no effect.
Also, you told me to look at fuse 29, please enlighten me if im not right, the only fuses i know about are these:

and as you see im missing fuse 29, the other one that i marked (on the top) according to fuse diagram is responsible for the same as #29
Are we on the same page right here?
