I am pretty sure that's not the problem. We have an old FP relay
rigged to be a jumper. It simply jumps the relay contact to its power
source without needing the coil to be energized. I had been using it
to determine whether the fuel pump could be made to run. The engine
would not start despite a constantly running fuel pump.

dunno. It almost sounds like there's something preventing the ECU from
triggering the injectors unless it's already running. speed sensor?
I've got access to a used one and may try to replace that just to see.

We're also putting some feelers out to the normal Audi tuning
community. I hope to get it solved soon and will let you know what we
find.
