i'm taking when you said "race pedal" you meant you stepped on the accelerator a few times.. right.. :?:

anyway.. make sure that if you've got a tiptronic that you have it in park before trying to start the car. or else it won't start.

With the part that it doesnt start and you try to start it is it totally dead or does the Starter motor kick over but the FTo just wont fire up?

If it is totally dead then sounds like your alternator or battery is on its way out.



The lights that come on are normal as you are sitting on auxillary just like before you turn the key to start it over.

Try to be more specific
