I don't think we are going to be of much help here. I'm guessing this is a G60, and VCDS isn't of much, if any, use on that type of car. Since this forum is for VCDS customers with VCDS questions, I don't think you are going to meet minimum specifications to post here.

Honestly, I think you will have better luck in the G60 section:

The Corrado section may also be a good place to ask as well:

Remember, there are two types of G60s... those with super chargers that will blow apart, and those with super chargers that have blown apart.

Now Jack, notice my lack of excessive smart @$$ness here... can you do this?

I can do even better since its a G60.
This way it will upset someone else in the process.

An olive branch sir.

Since its a non scan car anyway, unless its a Cali car.

Hey kiddo, check the brown ground wires at the VC are grounded, or run back to the battery for Digifant control unit.

If a ground is poor/missing to the Digifant controller, it can wipe it out fast, or cause this.

Verify, you didn't smoke the ecu due to this with a noid at the injector rail connector BUS.

If its constant on, with key on, you have this condition. It will just dump the fuel in engine.

Correct the cause before plugging in another controller!

Spark could be a bad hall in distributor, coil, wiring, or power-stage faulty in ECU.

I have all of this stuff new in stock. I would trouble shoot with WD and meter to isolate.

Hope that helps!

Best,
