>>> You might want to try using some fresh fuel. (Pump out the old first)
Don't have a fuel storage problem in my garage, it never gets over 65 F,
even on the hottest days.
>>>Shouldn't be an issue in a modern car, the fuel systems are very well>
>>>sealed..and even old gas will start the car, most likely.
I tend to agree, especially in my garage.

I will take a look the fuel pressure regulator., but the plugs are just a
little damp, not drowned, 'about what you would expect after cranking for
30 sec. I am going to throw a new set in, just to be sure.
>>>I would also check to see if all the values for the various sensors,

I wish I knew more about using Vag-Com. I'm trying to self instruct and it
goes slow. Just made a list of all the Measuring blocks that pertain to my
AHA engine. If it doesn't start with the new plugs, I'll start going thru
them. (I think I can only watch 3 at a time) Maybe something will show up.
If someone knows the most important ones to look at, let me know.
>>>For older cars, you had to crank them a certain length of time to
>>>guarantee a fault code. Is this the case with the newer cars?
This is a good question.
>>>If you have the Bentley, go through the no-start flowchart.
I can't seem to find anything in the Bently, The logic they use as to where
to put information never makes no sense to me.
