Have the Bentley manuals (set of 3 volumes) but they seem to discuss many VW and Vag-Com tools I will never have access to.
Is there a troubleshooting guidebook that doesn't rely on special test equipment to make progress in diagnosing a no-start problem?
My car has low miles (26k) and have owned it since new in 1991. Recently I went to start it to get the rust off the brakes and no-start, cranks strong, but acts like it is not getting any fuel. I changed the large fuel filter in the engine compartment, pulled the spark plugs and noted they were all dry. I loosened the front banjo bolt on what looks like a fuel rail above the fuel injectors on top of the engine and got fuel to spray out.
Relevant fuse #13 is OK, so I ordered a new fuel pump relay since that would be an easy to replace low cost possible fix. In what other areas should I look for a problem?
Is access to the fuel pump beneath the spare tire plastic tub?
Can anyone make some suggestions on my next moves? thanks in advance.
