VOSWAGGINVR6 7 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hey guys and gals been awhile since ive been on...... but ive recently came across an issue with my 1997 vw jetta glx. normally when its cold out it has some trouble starting. like today i tried to start and it didnt like twice before but if i wait for it to get warm it will start..... well today it didnt get no warmer so i tried and wasnt giving up i got it to start but it will cut out and backfire and cut off. but with several tries it finally started i guess once the motor warmed up. when im turning over and it has a dead start like turning over but not wanting to fire i can hear a relay clicking and then it will try to start this is the first ive had this much trouble. and ive researched it some say crank sensor and some have said relay.... relay issue was for a 2.0. so idk. hate to start replacing shit and spend tons of money and nothing fixed lol. thanks in advance. Bobby. : ) Link to post Share on other sites
VOSWAGGINVR6 7 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I've changed the crank sensor and no luck. But i had it running and bumped some wires between the fan and trans and it cut off. So I'm thinking it's a short. VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
