Hey guys, my first post here and unfortunately it's not a good one!
Long story short, my car never missed a beat until one afternoon I got in it to leave work and it won't start.
I've got a turbo on the car, still stock tune. But I think this would be unrelated as I've only babied it, it has a 5psi spring in the wastegate and I haven't even hit gate in it yet.
I've driven the car less than 100km since turboing it, but as above I've only driven it like a Grandma.
I've replaced the timing chain with a double-row kit about 100km ago and it ran great uo until it wouldn't start, so I'm certain it's not a timing issue.
Battery has been relocated to the boot.
It's cranking, and kind of firing... but won't run.
Scan tool shows no codes.
I've replaced some parts twice to eliminate the possibility of faulty new parts. The list below is what I've done.
2x Crank Angle sensors
2x Cam position sensors
3x DFI modules
Idle air control valve
Throttle position sensor
MAF sensor
Coilpacks
Plugs
Leads
Injectors
Fuel pump
Fuel pressure regulator
Fuel filter
ECU
BCM
Key - all have been paired together with a tech2
I've got an upgraded fuel pump in it that's seeing 100psi straight off the pump. I don't know how to test regulated pressure as there's no valve on the rail, so I haven't done that.
Tested compression- it's between 130 and 150 across the board.
Had a noid light on all the injectors, they're all receiving pulse.
Tested each individual spark plug and lead, all 6 are getting strong spark.
I got an earth point diagram and checked all my earths are OK.
Have checked all the sensor plugs and engine loom, visually everything is fine.
I don't think it's a security issue because the red light goes out when I have the key to the ON position.
Absolutely any help would be greatly appreciated at the moment because I'm pulling my hair out!!
