Title: mk2 golf gti cuts out when warm
Post by: dardo on 14 July 2011, 17:41

hi guys wondering if you could possibly help me out ive just recently bought myself a nice mk2 gti and since ie got the car it starts up mited ticks over and revs n drives mintd til it heats up roughly a few miles drive then it cuts out and wont start again til it cools down  :angry: :angry:,i have changed distributor cap,rotor arm,new coil,renewed all the earths new knock sensor and still the same its driving me round the bend any ideas would be appreciated

i have been told it may have something to do with 1 of the temp senders

should the spark from the coil be more blue than orange ????

thanks in advance

Try a new fuel pump relay those are the exact symptoms its happened to me twice in ten years, its worth a try coz it may be as simple as that.

Is it a digi? If so the Blue coolant sensor can be crucial to the cars running, though I'm not 100% sure if they are the symptoms you'd get.. I'd start by checking all wiring connections in the engine bay, give them all a good poke / tug and check they are all good.. If the car runs 100% sweet when going I'd say its prob not a mechanical part broken, more likely electrically based.
