As you probably know I'm having a mare with my MK3.
VAGCOM threw a fault code up for the ignition sensor/module? Now this is whats happened so far.
- Car stalled at 30. Restarted and stalled again 1 min later.
- Car eventually started after 30 mins and stalled 30 secs later.
- Car started 30 mins later but revs went mental bouncing from 0-4000 on it's own and then the car cut out.
- AA came out and broke my rotor arm (not happy) which i replaced. Then tested coil pack, which was good.
- Then had to get 3 of my mates to push my car down a main road through heavy traffic as the AA wouldn't tow it.
- There is now no spark coming from the coil what so ever, or on any of the plugs.
- The car turns over on the ignition but will not fire what so ever.
Now - the cambelt was recently changed, but i've felt it and it feels like it's tensioned properly.
Secondly - I took my car to a car wash the other day and the bonet catch was not properly down.. (oops.) I checked inside and right where the the ECU temp sender is there was water. I let this dry and the car happily continued on it's jorney for another couple of hours.
My question basically is, could a faulty ignition module cause the engine to turn over on the ignition but not spark from the coil.
Please help :cry:

Think I would be inclined to try a different coil pack Mate as they are temperamental in wet conditions. Mine played up in the damp until I changed it. Does one of your Mates have a Golf so you could borrow a coil pack ?? If you were closer to me I have one in the shed but no good to you there.....sorry :wink: :wink:

Tried 3 coil packs now. None work. :cry:

cranck sensor ?
-
agreed, crank sensor would be top of my list. also check the ecu relay, if faulty it will not send enough power to ecu and make it do weird stuff

Ordered a crank sensor. Picking it up tomorow. Relays 30 and 167 already changed.
