Hi Siena, thanks for your excelent work in this thread and really hope that you can help me!

I bought this 96 B5 2.8 12v almost a year ago and still can't start the engine. This is the most desperate situation i've ever been on...

The car cranks and cranks and doesn't start, it has spark, it has pressure at the fuel rail, the fuel pump works just fine when the engine is cranking, had tested every sensor in the car and they are fine, all ECM grounds are fine, all connections, all relays, everything!!

These are the only codes vagcom is reading:

17801 P1393 Ignition Coil Power Output Stage #1 - Electrical Malfunction
17802 P1394 Ignition Coil Power Output Stage #2 - Electrical Malfunction
17803 P1395 Ignition Coil Power Output Stage #3 - Electrical Malfunction

But i'm getting good spark, the only thing that is not ok it's the injector pulses, each injector cycles twice and then just stops. If I put some starter fluid in the throttle body the engine runs for several seconds... So i'm only getting two injector ground pulses from the ECU, what can be possibly wrong??

Here's a list of everything that I replaced so far:

Camshaft Position Sensor
Engine Speed Sensor
Crankshaft Position Sensor
Ignition Coils
Sparkplugs and cables
Power Output Stage
3 different ECU's tested and working in other cars
Fuel pump
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Ignition Switch

I'm begging for help at this point!
