Default 2005 a6 3.2 battery died now won't start

05 Audi a6 3.2 Quattro
I left my car outside for a couple wks waiting for my abs module to come back and the cold killed the battery. Upon jumping it it would crank but would not start. Now batteries fully charged but won't start unless I continuously spray starter fluid into the intake. Changed the fuel filter and still nothing. Seen that the pump is supposed to put out around 60 psi and it took about 8 seconds to fill a solo cup. I've read on here it could either be the LPFP in the tank or HPFP in the engine. Any ideas of what the problem could be or how to test to find the problem. Also the codes that I am reading is P2101 and P2539. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

If the low pressure fuel sensor is no good could that stop the car from running?

Apparently it has on your car. The other code is throttle body adaptation….

I would cancel all the codes and try again to start the car, preferably in a warm location after it has sat and warmed up for 24 hours.

Your car is a C6.
Ask on the C6 forum.

Had it in the garage for 4 days with a heater. Just tried replacing the low pressure fuel sensor and nothing. Also did a manual throttle body reset and nothing. Had to tow it to the dealership tonight for them to charger out the butt and tell me what's wrong with it.

Yes. It would start with starter fluid into the intake but that's it. Someone else online threw out the idea that since the battery died it could be a security measure not allowing the car to run.

Popped the fuel line off at the low pressure fuel sensor and turned the key. It pumped pretty good.
