MK3 gti start and stall-Help
« on: 24 November 2006, 21:03 »
hi my mate has a mk3 2.0 8v mreg , the car will sometimes stall immediately after starting , if you floor the throttle then it will start and run ok , sometimes it starts and idles fine, never lets him down once its going
The vacuum  pipe between the manifold and fuel rail was split ,so have changed that , also the oil pressure swich is pouring out oil , i have got him one today ,but not fitted it yet , do you think this could have any influence , any ideas greatly appeciated ,regards rob.

clean the throttle body, then replace the ecu temp sender with a newun from VW :)
