( no subject) No start condition, no spark

[tnatili]

In reply to my fello audi fans, please excuse my ignorance in reguard to the
no subject line.
My problem with my 89 200TQ was that I had a no start condition one day when
I shut the car off. It would not start. After about 30 min it fired right
up. My first place for advice was Scott Mockry.
I perused his web site for ideas(his suggestion) and my bently manuals. I
also searched through the archives to see if anyone else had the same
problems. well alot of the listers had no start conditions ,but none like
mine. After about two weeks of trying to figure out what the problem was I
ended up going through the list of checks from scott's web page and from the
bently manuals . Finally, I found that the ignition timing sensor (black
connector) on the bell housing was showing an open circuit when measured
with an ohm meter after the car was run for 15min. After 30 minutes of
cooling off the sensor read the 1K ohm it should have. I reconnected the
connector and it fired up.
