roodey 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hi everyone,My VR has had starting problem since i got this car 6 months ago, all i do is turn the key and the engine turns over like 4-5 time s then revs up 2000 rpm then back down again, almost as if the engine drops to many rpms for the engine to kick in for idle? ......Most of the time i jump in and turn the key foot to the metal and it fire s up straight away! I think it might be temp sender? as when u leave the car 1 hour u have to turn key foot to the floor and it fires up again! but if u leave it like 5 mins it will start up with just the key but still sounds like the engine drops to many rpms before it kicks in??When i turn the key the 109 relay clicks and fuel pump come s on for few seconds ready to start......Is this possible problem??If anyone has any advice please let me know cos this is driving me nutsSorry about the english lol Link to post Share on other sites
spiffo 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Errr, you shouldn't need to touch the acclerator, my OBDII engine starts without me touching the loud pedal, idles fast at 1200rpm for a few minutes then settles down to a steady 700rpm.Can anyone else help him, I'd suggest start by getting it on VAGCOM.

kalv 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 isn't there an idle control valve...? could be coolant sensor...? fuel pump relay is only a few quid to replace.. so can try that.. ? Link to post Share on other sites
roodey 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Ive changed the temp sender for the choke and seems to be the same so i will try the relay next if that fails ill try to get it plugged in. Link to post Share on other sites
Devildub_06 0 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I would recommend that you clean your idle bypass valve out as it sounds as if it's sticking slightly. VR6 engines should start promptly without the need to touch the accelerator and the idle bypass initially takes the revs up to a little over 1000 rpm before quickly settling back down to 650-750 ish rpm.Does it drive like it's lost any power? Any hesitation in particular rev bands? Link to post Share on other sites
roodey 0 Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Iv done the temp sender switch and no change, im thinkin as above it could be the idle control valve i will try and see if i can clean it not sure how or where it is but will see. thanks for all the advice Link to post Share on other sites

roodey 0 Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Yeah mine starts from cold and also if u leave it 15 mins the engine turns over 4-5 times with the help of some pedal.....ive cleaned the idle contol valve out and still no change so i have to do the relay next and finally the fuel filter will keep u posted Link to post Share on other sites
