The electric box on top of the front of the engine circled in red. i have no power there. I rebuilt the engine and maybe i did not connect the power correctly when i reinstalled. Should it have constant power? its connected to the starter and alternator.

The only "programming" it could possibly need would be adding a key to it. If your key was not programmed in the CLU, your car wouldn't start. Stop spreading false/bad info, please. When your misconceptions affect only you, that's fine. When you try to spread those misconceptions, you are affecting others by wasting their time and money.

Is this car a tiptronic??? If so check the trans selector cable above the intake. If it is too far to the left it is misaligned. It should be in a bracket to keep it in alignment to allow starting. Ask me how I know... It happened to me today and I found this thread. Took off the engine cover and moved the cable to the right, it started right up !!!!

I'm an engineer trying to use my expertise in electronics to help the OP, as I've done here for years, and your ill informed posts are detrimental.

In case you missed it, I was also trying to help you with your CLU issue. Not anymore, though.

starter issue is resolved. when i cleaned the power distributor i forgot to attach the main cable that went to the engine... hence no power to the starter. working now. i did send the immobilizer out to get it checked.
