how did  we do that? we tested to see if we had spark (we did) and got
the car  sputtering on ether. a second shot allowed it to actually run.
we had the  car idling for 30 minutes. I'm pretty sure the ether was
long gone.  <g>

still no codes with VAG-COM.

so we've got fuel and the  car will run, assuming we can get it
started. why can't we get it  started?



Try jumping your fuel pump relay before starting the car.  If you can  hear 
the pump running before attempting to start... try and start it.  If  
everything seems normal, the fuel pump relay may not be receiving the signal to  close 
when you initially start cranking.
 
I don't know what gives the signal to the relay... but it sounds like this  
may be the problem.
Keep us posted,
