[MJD2]

Greetings from the USA.ABZ. Replaced Fuel Pump, crank position sensor, fuel pump relay. Have lots of fuel at return line. Spark. Handheld vagcom 401 shows no fault codes. Fresh battery. New coil packs. New spark plugs. Swapped known working ECU/M. Still no start.*

If car sits for hours, it will start for a second.

Background: Purchased car a couple months ago. Mileage 160k. Hasn't been on the road since 12. Old gas, but started. Ran rough. Added fresh gas, ran vagcom, 3 bad coil packs. Once packs replaced/codes cleared, the car ran really well. Took for a 10 minute drive, and the car died. Has not started since. Discovered bare wires at the cps, Replaced crank /G28/RPM sensor. Drained tank (still had bad gas). So replaced pump and filter.

What should I check next? At a loss. Thank you.
