i'm in need of some help here as tomorrow is sunday and i need to get
this car figures out. in question is a '94 passat vr6 5 speed.
occasionally it does not want to start. i've replaced the ecu relay,
crank position sensor, and the ignition module. temperature and weather
does seem to matter. in an effort to locate the ecu (i didn't have tools
at the time), i found the abs control unit underneath the rear seat. i
wiggled the connector, turned the key, and the car started. later on the
car refused to start again (after running fine not but a couple minutes
earlier). i wiggled the connector to the abs control unit once more and
the car started. i'm wondering, does the abs control unit send
information to the ecu to indicate whether to start or not or is this
simple coincidence? any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. thanx.
