So today I went to look at a Gti today, on the positive side the body was completely rust free, but the engine is a different story. It would start and run for about 2-3 seconds and just die, the seller thinks it may be the oxygen sensor but to me it doesn't seem to be getting any gas. I search faithfully searched but I cant seem to dig up something with the same scenario, the last bit of information I can provide you with is the fact that the starter motor disengages before the engines dies.

It may be a burnt out ignition switch I was having that troble with mine last week replaced for about £15

Sounds like a common symptom of the AFM tbh

Whats the AMF? :laugh:

It sounds like ignition switch. But if it does have a lambda probe on it, disconnect it and see if it runs then. If it does, there's your answer. :smiley:
I have the same problem on my G60 and at the mo, I am running it with said probe disconnected. I have another to replace it with though. They are not cheap.

Where is the lambda probe located in the bay? Can I disconnect it without a wrench, or do I have to remove the engine?

I can't find the Lambada probe in my Haynes manual, granted it was only a 5 minute half hearted very tired yawning eye drooping search. :tongue:

The lamnda probe is a probe that measures O2 content in the exhaust emissions. It is located in the exhaust manifold and has a multipin plug situated on the right hand side of the car, (your drivers side), or at least in my car it is, (LHD) near the engine bay bulkhead and wheel well.
