breeza18 0 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hi all recently got my mk2 vr'd and I love it! The best sounding car ever! Now my car starts idles and drives really well, but when crusing or pulling off at light throttle the car will stutter bog down then clear. It does this in all gears at any speed, its when you just lightly on the throttle. It doesn't feel like a miss fire but I've ordered some new plugs anyway. Oh and the car is a obd1 lump with coil pack. Any ideas? Throttle pot or coilpack related? Link to post Share on other sites
Antihero1981 8 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 mmm funny as i am having same issue!!! maybe its the ash from the volcano! Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyb 2 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 could be leads aswell :S check them for any splits etc Link to post Share on other sites
breeza18 0 Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Checked my leads for splits and one has split were it pushes onto the coilpack revealing the brass bit inside. Is this enough to cause the problem? Guessing I can't buy single leads either? As for the volcano ash, I've only had it running a week lol! The ecu engine and loom were from an auto, would this cause a problem? I'm gonna toch the battert cables together and clear the ecu, see if it helps Link to post Share on other sites
Antihero1981 8 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 are you running an auto ecu with a manual? or you running an auto box? Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyb 2 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 dont you know any1 who would let you swap lead for a bit just to see if it is the cause of the problem? Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Yes you can buy single leads from VW Link to post Share on other sites
breeza18 0 Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 You can buy single leads! Might check that out thanks. I would borrow one but don't know any one in the area with a vr. I'm in ripley derbyshire if anyones local? As for the ecu, I'm running a manual box with auto ecu. Link to post Share on other sites
breeza18 0 Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 ok so ive just wired in the obd plug and run vag-com and it pulled up 2 faults00515 Camshaft Position Sensor (Hall Effect Sensor) -Short to B+ (G40) : Check CMP, ifOK, replace distributorand.....02159 fuel pump relay open or ground.now im guessing the fuel pump realy is because im using a ce1 mk2 pump and loom converted to run the vr6 loom. Any ideas on the others? would cam sensor cause the described problems? was told it was new by the guy i bought the engine off? Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hmmm could well be....easy to change up next to the coilpack! Link to post Share on other sites
