Stalls after 45 minutes of starting

Volkswagen Beetle 2000  210000 miles
I own a Beetle 2.0 year 2000 and it stalls after around 45 minutes of starting it. I have already changed its coil, camshaft and crankshaft sensor, fuel pump, relay 409 and throttle body but it keeps turning off suddenly. I've been trying to find a solution for a month and a half but without positive results. Does anyone know something about it?

I had the same problem with a Beetle 99 and it was solved when a piece, which I don't know the technical word, that is in charge of controlling the air flow to the engine, was replaced. It is an electronic gadget and in my case it was burnt.

The name you are searching for must be the MAF sensor.

Random misfire on random cylinder.

Volkswagen Beetle 2000  190898 miles
2 L inline 4 2000 year. No fuel pressure unless you block the fuel return line. And a random misfire on at first piston 4 now on piston 1? the coil pack was replaced with new, new sparkplug wires, new temperature sensor, replaced the fuel pressure regulator. Problem persists... low to no power on acceleration can move car when rpms are slowly raized but only up to 3000 rpm. If you block the fuel return line can accelerate but the fuel pressure will remain at 80 psi, standing fuel pressure is at 38 psi; when vaccuum line to fuel pressure regulator removed the standing pressure goes to 48 psi.
No hair left on head because of scratching...

The ignition cylinder won't turn engine over to start or to turn engine off.

The car runs, starts fine, but under load will not accelerate.

Check engine light on car is raving up and down when coming to a stop

Volkswagen Beetle 1999  180000 miles
Check engine light is on when I come to red light the motor revs up and down I checked spark plugs they are all good. Some kind of vacuumed leak is happening. And seems to be oil leakage on bottom of engine

Transmission has no fluid.

My stepson "changed" my "oil" but it was the transmission fluid he drained and now it has been running with no fluid what is the fix on this.
