it could be possible the belt teeth stripped some and the timing is off :shrug: especially if its a cheap belt

Ok Thanks. I am going to check all that. I know the previous owner of this car had the top half of the motor apart as all the bolts are finger tight.... What a mess.

if its the vavle covers and intake u speak of they are torqued very light so it would seem hand tight... it is VERY important these are torqued to spec.

also check the hydraulic tensioner, it may have failed and let your timing belt get a tad bit loose and the teeth shimmed off

I dont think it will start with the MAF off. It should at least try to start....i think.

IF I try to start my B6 without the Maf plugged it will just stall out, if theres no intake that's a massive vaccuum leak and the car won't start unless you give throttle after it's turned on.

Timing was off. I guess the people who had the car before me, didnt do the timing correctly... We took everything apart, and redone the belt, and now it runs. Just dealing with sensors now. :(

Thanks to all who helped on this issue!!
Greatly Appreciated!
