Hello,
I need assistance in troubleshooting what's going on in my car. I've swapped a 24v vr6 in my mk4 golf. I removed the immo myself and when I went to try and start the car it cranked, sprayed fuel, but as far as I could see there was no spark. Checked the coil-on-plugs, it is grounded at pin1 and pin2, constant power at pin3, not sure how to check pin4. When I read the fault codes it mainly showed that there is no communication between different modules and ecu and occasionally g28 no signal would pop up, but that would come up after cranking and then stopping, but I doubt that that's it, because it's a brand new bosch sensor. Any ideas?

I dont think I remember tach moving at all. As the car is not as easily accessible, I cannot check it at the moment. If there is no pulse, then that would be the G28?
Also what I remember is that one of the communication errors was with TCU, which leads me to believe that the ecu comes from an automatic. That could probably mess things up for me too, couldnt it? I will try to reflash to a manual file on the ecu once i get to the car!
Also every time I power up my ecu, the throttle body starts whining for a minute or two, could it be calibrating? I have connected some stuff straight to battery through a switch for the sake of just starting the car.
