    Car won't start - 2nd cylinder full of fuel

    Coming home yesterday car started running on 3 cylinders, and when checking spark fuel spat out of 2nd cylinder? Injector stuck open?

    So, you have fuel (but too much) and you have spark.. but no start

    I copied this from the other thread, seems like the car has a fault which makes it run extremely rich sometimes.

    I started car in the morning it started and stalled straight away, then I tried starting again and revved it, and it came to life, and then blue smoke was coming out of exhaust, I left it to tick over for a while and it was all fine.

    Then I was going home and it was all good, when I felt that car looses power slightly every now and then, and then felt that some cylinders were not working, 2 by the feel of it, and smoke was pouring out then. After I stopped car was running on 3, then I turned it off and couldn't start back up again.

      Maybe someone else has experience of this?

        Yes, spark plugs are wet, so I'm getting fuel. I checked and first 2 cylinders are getting spark. But no start, not even close.

          Check ECU to be sure that chips are seated properly.

          There's a fuse for the Vagcom power line, it says which one on the fuse box lid.

            Fuse for OBD is OK, checked before. Checked chips before and they're in tightly.

              Check timing again?

                  You'll probably need to dry the plugs out though..

                    Might need to, but quick look and it looked fine, belt is nice and tight.

                      I'll remove them all and let them dry out over night, some fuel should evaporate from cylinders too.

                            Fuel has also been pushed in sump, so oil change is on the list too.

                              I wonder if it's possible for the FPR to fail such that fuel pressure goes too high?

                              Or a blockage in the return line to the tank?
