I.C.E & Electrical / 1990 wiring woes
A now ex friend and I started restoring my 5 door GTI around 2 years ago, all was going well, he stripped the car, i welded it, then it went to paint, anyways, ive been reassembling the car its all back together apart from radiator and a few trims.
i have however run into some difficulties with the electrical side, the engine bay wiring was all tied up against the firewall so it was out of the way for paint, ive refitted the engine, connected all the plugs etc that i could see / identify, im at the point of turning the key and............ nothing, well not nothing nothing, it turns over but not start.
i have discovered that theres no spark, i have 12v at the coil.
the ISV doesnt buzz when ignition is on.
fuel pump doesnt prime. ive bridged the terminals on the relay and the pump primes
everything else electrical appears to be working at this stage
really hoping someone has some possible suggestions as to where to start!
