I have a vr wagon 3.8 just not starting at all just cranks. It was running and starting fine till the dfi module **** itself, have checked to see if it’s getting spark and YES getting a good spark have also checked to see if it’s getting fuel YES have checked for codes and only getting code 12 which is all good? Not sure what is going on!!

Whining due to battery going flat prob.
You changed the DFI for a new one right?

Could be the solenoid not throwing in.
You could try whacking the solenoid with something but if that doesn't work you may need a new starter.

MAP sensor would more than likely affect it when it's running.
Can you pin point the whine?
