cant figure it out

alright i have a 95 talon tsi awd wit a 97 tsi motor wit a 95 ecu non eprom. i have replaced the alternator, starter, coolent temp sensor, o2 bank 1 sensor, thermastat, im gasket, injector seals, coil packs, spark plug wires and throttel body gaskets. after doing this some how the car sounds like its running on a dead cyclinder. i have spark and i pulled the fuel rail off to see if the injectors where working and they are and my compression on all found cyclinders are between 150 and 170. i know im getting spark and fuel. i have done a boost leak test and fixed them all and not leaking any more. any one have some ideas???????????

bad coil,i know you said you have spark btu mabe its not enough spark

[joeonegawd]

i have tried my freinds coil pack that came off a running car and still got the same problem

Dead cylinder or misfire under boost?

[joeonegawd]

it sounds like a dead cyclinder on start up i have not tried to drive it cause i dont have the money to replace anything big

[joeonegawd]

just to make sure when u do a boost test the actuator should move or not move ???? i have stock turbo and actuator and i pressured the system to 10lbs

Which cam sensor is on it.

[joeonegawd]

i believe the 97 cas is on it. i dont know to much about it i did not do the swap. the cas is sitting under the intake cam gear

[northsydryd]

i wonder if its 180 out on the cas? can that mistake be made?im not sure

[joeonegawd]

i have no clue.. forgot to mention when at idel the car reminds me of a subaru running and when i give it gas it sounds alot more like a subaru running??

[northsydryd]

sweet,i would just leave it like that.lol. the last car that i seen like that had a bad coil...im stumped,mabe you need the 95 cas

[joeonegawd]

ok ill give it a shot when i get some more money thanks

If the cam sensor is under the intake cam gear, its a 95-96 and you can't get that backwards. If its on the other side of the head, its a 97-99 and it won't drop a cylinder if its backwards. Sounds like you missed something.

And a bad coil would drop two cylinders not one.
