Mk5 gti starting issue

@Beej once manifold if off you may as well clean the inlet side the head :signLOL:
You need vagcom on it to check the injector parameters. I checked for misfires last night but Oundle detect any.

I had it cleaned in March when rfd was done, which I why I am either considering injectors or lpfp, but from what I gather,the lpfp doesn't really generate any real pressure and that our engines/fuel supply setup is so that fuel pressure is only really generated on engine cranking/running. I doubt it would be the lpfp at fault, unless the valve on the return side of it has failed and fuel is returning back into the tank, rather than staying under pressure in the system hence the time taken before the starting splutter appears again
r5gtt:
Have you done a throttle body reset lately?. Cleaned it out?. Checked your pcv if not already done do? .
Clgale1988:
So isit wortg doing plugs and coils 1st then if still there clean cylinder out and clean throttle body out?? Is all this easy to do?
r5gtt:
Throttle bodies a mother to do that's why I'm not touching it till the whole manifold comes off.
As I said, check your plugs and gapping on them first as that's an easy job. can't say swop your coils over as you don't have vagcom.
