Hello all,
I have a '91 Talon Tsi and I've noticed lately that it's hard to start. It cranks over fine but will not fire. After a couple times trying it finally starts. This happens cold or hot. Any thoughts? |

QUOTE (mark95turbo @ Nov 20 2004, 01:22 PM) I'm gonna have to guess that you should give me the car Brett! No really though, Ide guess on either ECU or O2 sensor. Probably the ECU though. Actually I might sell it soon. (I'll fix it first!) With the holiday's coming up a little extra money would be nice! It started today and I drove it to my shop and removed the ECU. Sure enough when I opened it, one of the big caps is leaking and it smells like dead fish! It has a black spot (size of a quarter) by the leaking cap so i'm guessing that it is shorting something out. That's explains the intermittent starting issue lately. I need an ECU ASAP! |
