Default Car wouldn't start after replacing the clutch kits

Turn the car key, engine runs... but just wouldn't start...

G28 Engine speed sensor has been tested... OK...
No DTC on Engine... In fact, nothing has been changed but the RS4 clutch kits.. but I did removed the flywheel....

The gap between the sensor and flywheel?
Any suggestions...

How can the engine run if it does not start? Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Default The chicken had to come first, otherwise the egg would not have hatched

I'm a genius!

Default Re: How did you "test" the G28 sensor? And.....

You verified that it's plugged and bolted to the same hole in the bell housing on the tranny?

Also, what flywheel are you running now and does it have the timing wheel on it?

Did you align the flywheel correctly and installed ALL the bolts?

Basic stuff but sometimes people skips steps.

Check for DTC while you're cranking won't register anything. It won't register anything until your car "runs" again.

I bet your starter motor isnt "connecting" with the flywheel. Needs to engage there.....

Default If something was not installed right, the car might not recognize the the clutch being depressed

You know that little orange screen that pops up and says "depress clutch to start". Anyway, if it doesn't recognize that you are depressing the clutch, it won't let you start the motor.
