help needed, poorly 20vt novice
« on: 23 December 2012, 14:28 »
hello everyone, i have a silver 2000model golf gti turbo,

i have plugged in a fault code reader and reads no codes ,

i can start the car from cold, drives ok, as soon as i turn it off and restart it, it cuts out,
i try and drive it and its cutting out and back on, almost impossible to move away,

i keep turning it on and off untill it will start with loads of revs, then i have to keep the revs up to move away and sometimes even then it splutters,

hope that makes sense
