Need Urgent help Please

Hi
My 2L 8V is not running properly, when it starts it idles ok and when you rev it the idle needle goes pretty erratic and then it cuts out.  What could it be? Any ideas need to get it to Santa Pod this weekend.  Thanks.

What has been tried so far?

Have you tried cleaning the throttle body with Carb Cleaner?

Hi
We tried to change a relay as there was a clicking noise coming from No 106.  This has now stopped.  We have also checked that there is power going to the ingition coil, there is.

Try changing the relays as well as cleaning the throttle body then.

ECU: 30
Fuel Pump: 167

Get them from the dealers as they are better and still the same price.

Check all hoses in the engine bay for splits etc too. Could be a vacuum leak too.

Is it a 2E engine code ? could be your isv valve needs a clean if so if not any of the above is possible  do you know anyone with vag com?

[little_miss_naughty]

We have changed all the relays, tried a new coil, HT leads, Dizzy Cap, and had VAG Com on it, this came up with the cam sensor faulty (replaced this)  Clean all of the above and now the car wont even spark let alone try to turn over. 

Help any more suggestions on why it is now not getting a spark?

Also checked for holes in the Air pipe there was and that has now been fixed still makes no difference.

No spark at all??
Very strange!


Ummm I assume the battery is fine?
