Code 14?

[tyler]

so i have my swap almost done, i had the car stored during winter and was just going to wrap the loose ends up now, any ways when i go to start it it cranks fires sputters and dies, it is giving me code 14 witch is an ignitor code, i tried an igniter out of a friends mk4 last year and it did the same thing(but at the time i did not have a check engine light to check codes). any ideas as to what else would cause this would be awesome

er so you tried your ignitor in a friends and it gave the same code?

no i tried his ignitor in my car, but at the time i didnt have a check engine light to check the codes, what are the common problem with a code 14

Ecu, Ignitor or the wiring between the 2. Can you borrow an ECU from a friend?

 

[tyler]

okay well an ignitor code would lead me to believe that the car is not getting spark when indeed it is getting spark, i think it may only be getting the first spray of fuel form the injectors and then nothing else, because it has air and spark, and it still fires for that one revolution

 

[tlo86]

try a friends ecu if you can just incase

Also open up your ECU and check for leaking capacitors.

Code 14 is the ignitor's feedback (Black colour wire)
I had almost the same problems when I had wired the s-afc & avc-r
to it for the rpm data,and had a switch for the rpm or injector duty cycle
for the avc-r.....
I disconnected the rpm data periodly and disable the switch.
After that everything was ok.Maybe some kind of electrical interference
was the problem for my diag 14 code and ignitor issue.
