Title: Help help help
Post by: Steve! on 21 August 2005, 11:13
When i was driving home the other day my mk3 gti just started to die on me! so i pulled over to see that the ht lead that runs from the dizzy cap to the ignition coil had burnt away on the end that plugs onto the ignition coil ( the ignition coil plastic end was pretty burnt to) anyway ive put a new ignition coil on, new ht lead, new plugs, and now every time i turn it over it shoots up to 2500 revs then dies again straight away , Help does anyone know wots  going on  :undecided: :undecided: :undecided:

cheers steve
