  • S6 wont start

    I haven't driven my car in 2 years. I tried Starting it but it just turns over, almost sounds like there's no spark.
    I checked and there is spark, timing is spot on and I've got half a tank of fuel.
    any ideas of what the problem might be?

    Maybe the fuel pump has failed?

      First thing: Make sure the battery is fully charged. If the cranking speed is < 13 RPM, ECU will not trigger the J17 Fuel Pump relay.

      While you are waiting for the battery to charge up, try reading Item 4 in the Monthly Reminder list that I just bumped 7 days ago:

          Which is Item 4 in the monthly reminder list, i.e. Potential solutions to why your AAN-powered UrS isn't starting

            I checked the fuses above the ecu and they are a fine.
            I pulled the fuel rail out and cranked the engine but no fuel is coming out

              You are never going to get your engine started if that is the extent of your diagnostics. Please please read the link that has been suggested and start with charging your battery to full capacity, i.e. 12.7 volts. No > 13 RPM = no activated fuel pump relay, etc.

                I charged the battery and the fuel relay works when I crank the engine

                  Not sure how you established that but okay. Now you need to consider the cam sensor being at fault. Any codes?

                    But is the fuel pump actually pumping?
                    I think you said you had no pressure at the rail?
                    If the fuel pump relay is closing but there's no pressure at the rail then it points to a bad pump.

                      I'll disconnect the fuel feed at the fuel rail and see if I get fuel. If I do, then the injectors are blocked. If no fuel, then it's gotta be the fuel pump

                        There are better ways to test the fuel pump:

                          I have fuel pressure at the rail but the fuel I not going into the fuel rail. I tried another fuel rail and 3 different fuel pressure regulators but the fuel isn't getting to the Injectors.

                            Have you actually cranked the engine and pumped fuel out of the feed line into a container?

                            If you have then check the 12v suppy to the injectors with a multimeter.

                              Agree but even simpler to jumper the fuel pump power and test whether it is working, independent of the FP relay, as per my Fuel Pump Testing DIY:
