Frans: Check your spark plugs/wires for spark.. Also, if it sat for a long time could have bad gas in there. If the tank is near empty, grab some new fuel and throw it in there, otherwise try to syphon out what you can and throw new gas in there.

got EDIT? what tranny was in it to begin with? i don't know why, but, it may be looking for input from the old tranny. i am doing a 400 swap in about a month and will be disabling all of the old A4 parameters/tests.
