Re: O.K., what did I do to this one?
I had a similar problem with my 1982 Coupe. After muttering a string of
curses to the Audi Gods, I had the middle of nowhere thought to check the fuel
pump relay. It turns out that the relay was loose and all I had to do was
give it a bit of a push and it started right up.
Good luck

1982 Coupe (62,000)
The backup '87 5K CS TQ has joined the primary one in semi-retirement. I
was driving on one of the roads at the plant and it stopped running. Died.
Right there. Engine will turn with the started, there is compression this
time. When I turn the ignition on, the fuel pump did not cause the warm up
regulator to click, so I suspected a bad fuel pump. Changed the pump, still
no fuel. Also no spark, which I think is normal if there is no fuel.
What sensors have the power to shut off the fuel pump? I have checked
pins 1 & 4 at the fuel pump and there is voltage there. With a weak battery
it was 9v, have the battery on a charger now.
Any suggestions on which sensor(s) to look at? Any other items that may
have an impact? Any loose wires that could do this?
All help appreciated.
Thanks.
