ello, in some crazy turn of events i ran my car out of gas, 04 STI, im trying to start it and it seems likes its not firing. (ex: seems like i have no spark) was wondering if running it out of gas may have tripped something that needs to be reset. i tried reseting the codes but every time i try and start it again it pops up with 6 codes : low ignition voltage, o2 bank 1, o2 bank 2, neutral switch low voltage, and a couple more. anyone have any help it would be nice TY

 

It might take a few turns of the motor to get things fired up. When you turn the key to the on position do you hear the fuel pump?

 

charge the battery and since you ran it till you run our of fuel it might take a more than a few turns to turn over

 

ive been cranking it for sometime, and i did think it may have been the battery at first so i replaced it. i popped the plugs out and they had some unburnt fuel on them, thats why im thinking its not firing. but ill try it a couple more times

 

if the plugs are fouled replace them spark plugs are pretty cheap

 

and and yes to noodle man the fuel pump is cycling.

 

possibly sucked up all the crap off the bottom of your tank and clogged the injectors??

 

that might be a good thought, ima clean the injectors and try a couple more things out. if anyone knows why the ignition might not be firing plz tell id like to cover all my basis' before i decide to pull the motor .

 

you have a spark tester aka put it on teh side of the block and turned it and didnt see the spark correct?


you arent pumping the gas pedal right?

 

I would definitely find out if you get spark. There's a few things that I think it could be:
Clogged Fuel Filter - junk at the bottom of the tank totally clogged it
Clogged Injectors - junk go to the injectors
Fuel pump - running fuel pumps without a load can cause it to burn out (found that out the hard way in my old toyota truck lol

I would replace the fuel filter (in tank, ouch)
Spark plugs

and this might be a good time to upgrade to a walbro fuel pump
