Default 3. Check for spark

Pull the fuel pump fuse No. 17.

Remove the coil pack, flip it over, place 5 used plugs (any type) in the coil to plug boots and ground the plug threads to the cam cover. Have a friend try to start the engine. Look for spark(s) from the plugs. No spark = POS or coil issue or blown ECU fuse.

How to remove the coil pack:

Photo showing the coils and the boots (note this was from a cam cover gasket failure):

Default 4. Check or replace the J17 fuel pump relay

If you have no CPS codes, and the fuel pump works when you test it and you have spark, then it could be a faulty J17 fuel pump relay. Read more in the link.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/149827.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/149827.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default 5. Replace ignition switch.

It could be the problem and will need replacement anyway. Do NOT get an aftermarket one. Buy only from a dealer. See link.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/204624.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/204624.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default 6. Replace the Cam Position Sensor

Even if you didn't get a 2113 blink code, if everything else is good when you tested them, then the likely culprit is the CPS.

Follow the link re: replacement procedure.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/195614.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/195614.phtml</a</li></ul>

If there is still money in the account, your car isn't properly fixed yet
