It is throwing a code for the injector and have done some research and have checked some of the grounds all seem to be good all the wiring seems to be good and not chewed or rubbed through.

Hi Jon,

Could you let me know what code or codes you found? Also, is the check engine light ever flashing when driving it?

Let me know. Also, let me know if you noticed any smoke (gray or black) from the exhaust, if you notice any odors from the exhaust, and if you have checked the fuel pressure. If you haven't checked fuel pressure.

here is a link that explains how in general it is done:

I will watch for your reply.

Joe

PS: Let me know if you have a VAG scan tool that can provide live data.
