Engine runs but won't start SolvedSolved

Volkswagen Jetta 2001  143 miles
Hope someone can help me. I own an automatic Jetta 2001 and it was working properly until suddenly, one day, it wouldn't start again. The engine runs but there is no way it can be started. The fuel pump's pressure has been checked, the coil replaced as there were no sparks in the spark plugs, but the problem is still there. All fuses are alright as well as the crankshaft's sensor. The acceleration body has been cleaned and the battery replaced. Can the stereo have something to do? Because it is indicating SAFE 0000, meaning that the car is blocked? Can someone please tell me what to do?

After many attempts at trying to solve the same problem you are now having with my Jetta 2001, one day I found out that the temperature's sensor, through which the cooling liquid runs, had oil in its exterior. It was dirty due to a previous tuning, so I removed the connector to clean it and the failure disappeared. I really don't know how this can affect the starting, but I cleaned certainly deeply that connector, which has 4 pins, and the vehicle started as if nothing had happened. I then bought the sensor and the problem was finally solved.

Thank you, siller for reading and sharing your experience. After trying different things, I myself removed the crankshaft's sensor, took it to a good electrician and he said it was not working properly. I then bought a new one, installed it and it finally started.

Many failures SolvedSolved

Volkswagen Jetta 1999  135000 miles
The first failure in my car appeared from one day to the other. It was working perfectly one night, but the following morning it wouldn't start. There was some engine work but I could not start driving it. It seemed as though there was a fuel deficit, but it had been refuelled the day before. I checked the fuel pump, and surprisingly found out there was no sparking, so I logically thought the problem was with the coil. I changed it but it kept doing the same thing. I then checked relays, fuses and that there was electrical current reaching the coil and everything was ok. The crankshaft's senso… Read complete

Stalls when driving, EPC and oil indicators

Volkswagen Jetta 2002  168000 miles
I have a Jetta A 4 2002 and, when driving, it suddenly jerks, EPC and oil indicators turn on and it loses power until it stalls. I try to speed it up but it won't answer properly. Only after 20-30 minutes the engine will start again. The car has been tuned, the battery, oil pump and air sensor changed but it keeps doing the same thing. Can anyone help me? It really worries me when I'm driving and it suddenly stalls.

Stalls SolvedSolved

Volkswagen Jetta 2001  55000 miles
After driving for 20-25 miles, the engine stalls and it won't start again. Only after 4 or 5 hours the car will start again as if nothing had happened. After the same distance, it stalls once more and this happens time after time. It seems as though the engine was suddenly blocked. A new coil was installed but the problem is still there. I would appreciate anyone's help. Thank you.

Hi, you should check the state of the relay number 409, as well as the crankshaft's sensor. You should also verify that the new coil is working properly.

Your problem must be the crankshaft's sensor, located behind the oil's filter.

Car not starting

Volkswagen Jetta 2007 2.5 Wolfsburg edition 189000 miles
The car has been sitting for 8 months bought it for a very good price. I have good fuel pressure 35 , I have fire to all the coils ,plugs look fine, all fuses look good, but nothing just turns over seems like no fire or fuel. What should I do next? Also it had a po721 service code which I knew about I need to replace the output shaft speed sensor. No other codes

Same here. After window got broken when someone vandalized it my car says transmission is in emergency mode and check engine light came on when I try to accelerate the rpms jump to 5000 rpm and my car slows down it doesn't speed up. Did not have this problem prior to window getting broken and replaced. The alarm did not go off when the window got broken either.

Try checking all your fuses under the hood my fuse for my oil pump and turbo bypass valve it was blown and it fixed it just try checking your fuses that’s what I did and I felt dumb afterwords 😂

Your Car is in LIMP mode, get someone to reset the ECU computer box then see if it continues.

Won’t accelerate

The car starts but idles rough. After driving it a few feet the accelerator will stop working. Shows engine codes for a cylinder 2 misfire and a MAF issue. Have tried changing spark plugs, coils, sensors and gaskets and nothing seems to resolve the issue.

The engine oil pressure drops and then returns to normal after a while

Volkswagen Jetta 2006 1.6 auto 278000 miles
After driving for over 250 kilometers, a warning light (oil) appears saying 'Stop immediately. Contact your dealer. ' I checked the oil level, and it was normal. After waiting for about 15 minutes, I restarted the car and everything returned to normal.

Inspection warning

Volkswagen Jetta 2014 Sedan 190000 miles
Hi,

Since my last oil change, an "Inspection" warning appears on my dashboard each time I start the car. It disappears after a few seconds, but I’d like to have it resolved permanently.
I believe the maintenance reminder may not have been reset during the service. Could you please advise on how this can be fixed?

Thanks,

Oil leak from the gearbox

Volkswagen Jetta 2015 Sedan 1.8 tsi 116000 miles
The car doesn't have a launch control feature; I tried pressing the brake and accelerator simultaneously a few times, and afterwards, it started leaking oil from the area where the transmission connects to the engine—though it doesn't leak when the car is turned off.

Stalling, Sputtering.

Volkswagen Jetta 2015 Jetta S 2.0 126850 miles
Sometimes stalling when stopped or sputtering when accelerating from stopped. Comes and goes but get's more frequent in the drive. Got a code P0131 02 Sensor 1. I replaced it, same issue. I unplug the 02 sensor and it will run. I thought it was the harness on the vehicle and had dealership take a look. They did an overlay on it "as a start". They said it was done, I kept asking about the 02 sensor before pick up. "It's good, we drove it, etc.". After pick up about 12 miles later I stall/sputter. They say it's the ECM and Cat. Converter.

Looking for second opinion.
I've replaced spark plugs, wires, coil. MAF, MAP sensors. Purge valve.

My car is a push to start. When it starts it is very loud and I am consistently putting oil in my car every 2 weeks. It shakes when accelerating especially when going 40-60 mph and I can’t really accelerate much past 65. It also shakes when going up hill and the RPM will run high

Car suddenly would not accelerate when in gear

Volkswagen Jetta 2020 Rline 57000 miles
Slow down Meika my friends are at the corner. I made a complete stop. Talk to them for about 80 seconds. My car would go in gear is fine, but it would not go forward. I got to go and reverse a little bit. Then it will go forward and first and second, but it was telling me different years on the dash and I could not get it to catch. Feels like it’s out of sink. I didn’t lose any clutch pressure. It didn’t go to the floor. I let it sit overnight and when I went to move it into the garage it’s had the clutch all the way out before it would move. I also figured out that three days before this Valvoline spilled oil all over my engine and overfilled the engine oil by a court and broke my skid Pan
