bazz780 0 Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Hey guys, i have recently begun to have problems when cold/warm starting my car. the engine ticks over just about and the revs go shooting down and the car switches off, almost like when an immoboliser is in action, after a few attempts i can start the car keeping it revved up or else it will switch off again, once revved for a few seconds the car will then be fine.any ideas as to what she is trying to tell me???cheers :?

28v6r 0 Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Errrrrmmm Yep!! fuel relay and voltage stabiliser relay.... Common problem apparently, mine did this on a Passat recently, see archives somewhere(?) in it it lists the parts you require. Mine could be timed sitting for approx 3 mins then all would return to normal as if nothing had happened. Try that see how you go.... Link to post Share on other sites

speedo 0 Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Failing that, also try the temp. sensor (4 pind one), as that tells the ecu the engine temp, and if faulty it can cause this type of symptom. this is situated in the therostat housing area, at the front of the block. Under the fuel pressure regulater. it should be blue. Link to post Share on other sites
