crazy studdering while Reving

LOL, if you are still having problems on Tuesday with this and haven't gotten a hold of Eric, I am pretty handy when It comes to electrical and can help. Let me know.

Why not just use a DVM and check the coils? Wouldn't that be simpler?

This is my car, just so you all know.

First were going to check and see if there is a short in the ecu. I'd much rather it be somthing like that than deep into the wiring harness, that's just a headache...

That is the next option that we are going to try out. I belive i have a DVM somwhere in the garage..

As far as the baggering goes, theres no point

Matt ( alpine TSI) went through the trouble to come down and figure out the problem. I'm glad he did because it was quite a bit beyond my electrical knowledge. If he feels the need to chime in and add detail, you can get more specs but until then, this is what I can tell you.

Basically one of the 2 wires going into the injector clip located on the top of injector number 1, was shorted somewhere. He ran a line to another source of signal or power ( cant remember with already lol) and now it works.

Bad thing - Check engine light pops on while at idle, and while no gas is applied. My guess is that the ecu thinks the injector isnt getting a signal but im not sure. It runs fine.

It wasnt very EASY to figure out, as he had to test a lot of crap with minimal tooling. However he did a great job and if for some reason he wanted to and someone needed help with electrical, I'd recommend him.

Thanks, now get that ECU taken care of! Unless you enjoy the smell of dead fish ;)

BUMP -

Would kind of like to know why the engine light comes on while at idle.. I dont have a scanner to check the code. I think its the way we wired it..

Bump, it's my car ~ I'd like to know aswell.

Well get one and find out. Thats the only way to check. Cant tell whats wrong with your car by looking at it, go to autozone or find someone that has a pocketlogger and pull the code.

Get the caps done, then worry about the CEL. Seriously, that damage to the board can't be doing any good.

If needed I have a logger and a cable that is now functioning correctly if you wanted to get the code figured out.
