[s-cars] S4 no start

[Jack Gagnon]

I've got a few problems and need some help here.

Problem 1:  car sits for two days, go to start car and battery is dead.

Problem 2:	Jump start with another vehicle.  Starter turns over fine but car
does start. It fires for less than a second and dies.  Ty several times,
several hours apart, no go.  Get car towed to local shop.

They leave car in shop over night and the car starts fine.  They fix battery
drain and replace sticky brake cable.

I pick up car this morning.  They say they started the car at 6:30 am after
siting out overnight without any problems.  I try to start it and it fires
and dies immediately, no start again!

The spent some time on the car today without success.  No codes.  Getting
spark, getting way too much fuel.  They are getting some strange readings
form some fo the sensors.  Intake air and coolant temp readings are -56.
The shop is not sure why these readings are so funky.  Any ideas?  It might
be a bad solder joint in the ECU?  They intend to pull the ecu and look
around for a bad solder joint and reseat the chips.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Jack
