Hi, I have a Audi Coupe 1990, kept in garage for some years but I alway run it up. Recently I accidentally ran it out of fuel, so I put 10L back in but surprise surprise it won’t start. Looks like it is fuel injected so no carb, guess it could have sucked up some rubbish from tank or airlock?? any ideas appreciated on how to solve?

thanks

Hi i have had similar problem with a 1993 Audi coupe 2.3e i bought which had not started for 10 years but i have had running. Firstly id check youve got fuel in it which you have then make sure the fuel pump primes. If the fuel pump primes then id check your fuel filters not clogged up which does happen. Then id make sure you have a good spark. If all of these are ok then id check the rubber boot is totally flush and has no kinks on top of the metreing head. If the car doesnt start and you know its got fuel it primes theres no air leak and you have a spark then id say your metreing head is clogged or damaged. Could also be injectors or injector seals. Im not a mechanic but ive hsd 3 of these cars and have had similar problems with them. The metreing heads can get blocked especially when the cars not been used for a while. Good luck from IHK 11

maybe the coil is the problem,let us know if youve solved it.
