3.6 CC. Cranking but not starting

[Bozfromoz]

I have a similar issue with a golf mk4 that I just bought to play with. It definitely sounds like you have spark so most likely it’s your fuel delivery. You said low pressure had been found. I would suggest on a day that you can’t start it grab some 8$ starting fluid from Supercheap Auto and spray into to air intake. This should start it. Check for any leaks in the fueling lines , Check voltage on fuel pump. Then check fuel filter. Finally check injectors. You can do this test with obdeleven. It sucks if it’s your daily driver but if it’s not it can be fun !!!!!

So this has now thrown a CEL and my fuel use is nowhere near as efficient as the 11L/100kms that the display reads. Certainly using a lot more fuel than the average would suggest. I’ve had no starting issues for months because I’ve simply left the fuel filler cap loose. I’m going to buy one of those $40 charcoal canisters off eBay and put that in and a new genuine n80 valve.
