Aarrrrgggghhhhhhh Help plz
« on: 15 July 2010, 10:18 »
i bought a 99 golf gti turbo about a month ago knowing it had a few minor faults (door lock modules maf sensor and a few minor bits) anyway yesterday i orderd a new maf as the car was running very poor crap idle very poor consumption and a lot of backfiring from 3rd to 2nd gear  :sad:

After fitting the new maf i started the car all seemed very good smooth idle and i thought id cracked it, it wasnt until i went to drive it it started to die on me under acceleration at about 1500 revs but not all the time.

This morning car wouldnt fire up without me pressing the accelerator (never ever happened before) but when i got it going power was smooth and back to normal  but with the odd occasional gudder in power

Ive checked the hoses ive cleaned the 3 week old spark plugs so is the new maf foooked, i left the battery disconnected for the best part of 4 hours

HEEELLLPPPPP Plz :cry:

When you say judder in power do you mean you will press the pedal but nothing happens and then have to give it a few stamps to get it back on power again?

doubtful it's coilpacks on an AGU...

Could be a number of things; split hoses, ignition amp failing, throttle body needing cleaning...

If your plugs are black then it was overfuelling, have you cleaned them since the new MAF was fitted? This could be somewhere to start.

Do you have access to VAG COM to scan for faults?

Right just installed new plugs cleaned the throttle body and checked all hoses no leaks or splits

Still same :cry:

Ign amp failing will have to get it checked still strange how it's never  had a problem starting but now it's constant  :cry:
