If it starts momentarily and then stops it I would first check for an air leak. Check intercooler pipes, pipe between airflow meter and turbo etc. Failing that check the basics, fuel and spark.

unplug airflow meter and plug back in

Could be the fuel pump. Happened to me once. To check if the fuel pump is faulty, try this.

- Gain access to the fuel pump (it is at the back of the boot. you have to take out the "partition". It is at the far right side of the batteries.)

- Unscrew 4 screw to the pump cover plate

- Get a "malet hammer" - the rubber type, and start knocking at the to of fuel pump while someone keep cranking the motor. If it starts, fuel pump faulty.

i turn the car on the reds come up so cant be the battery but ill try to start... choke and the engine wont start... reds are still on...
