Dino, Im having problems with my rs3. As I said before, i set the car on the starter box and the engine spins and turns over, but it doesn't start and idle. I just took it to my lhs and Mike (smart guy who knows a lot about engines) tuned it lean and rich, and nothing changed. He suggested that the engine may not be getting a full supply of fuel, or maybe the porting is wrong? Anyways, Im going to take the engine apart and check it to make sure everything looks ok. Has anyone had this problem with their engine, or does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks, and hopefully my engine wil idle soon

Is the muffler set new? If not, check it to see if there is anything blocked in it? This is a tricky one but it rarely happens...

Also check your fuel lines for holes etc and the tank to see if there are any punctures an so on... ??
