The freakin thing won't start. First the battery was extremely dead and would not jump. So, I went and got a new one. Now it will crank , but it won't start. I checked fuel pressure and had about 52PSI at the rail. Then used a plug tester and got clean spark. That tells me the injectors must not be firing. BOA279 suggested I clean the VATS connections both in the cylinder and on the key. I cleaned buth, but it still won't start. Any ideas? I have to get it out of the storage area TOMORROW!

The light is staying on, but I am sure it is because it is only cranking and won't start.
Oil pressure kicks up to 60 and volts are steady.

Garry, I would love to read codes, but I just got the car yesterday and don't have a scanner yet. I bought it site unseen and had it shipped from the states....believe it or not.
If ANYONE would like to help today, I will be out at the car in Ramstein Meisenbach. Give me a call at 01511-869-4133.
I am also looking for someone to help tow it. I do not have any equipment for that other than a truck.
Thanks
Brian

I'm about 2 3/4 hours away, which doesn't really help (plus on 24/7 duty) ... maybe you can ask Roy if he can check the trouble codes?

I have only met him once so I don't have any of his contact information. Hopefully he will chime in here and give me a call. That is exactly what I need at this point.

Some simple stuff
Check INJ1 and INJ2 fuses . If they are good disconnect the battery for a min of 30 seconds . reconnect and try .
If it still doesn't pull the two 168 pin connectors and look for corrosion .

Thanks for all the suggestions.
We got it all figured out tonight. Everyone of the plugs were fouled out. I am hoping it wasn't from something that was done during the shipping. My theory is that when I was trying to get it started with the dead battery the injectors were firing, but the plugs could not causing a very lean condition and fouling them out.
Thanks Silas for the plugs.
The beast is ALIVE!!!!!!!!
