Starting when cold SolvedSolved

Volkswagen Golf 1994  260000 miles
In the morning, it is hard to start the engine and, once it does, the speedometer or cluster blinks. I have read that, in most of the cases, the problem is in the coil, but it can as well be in the fuel pump. Apart from that, the car overheats and starts whenever it wants. It is driving me crazy, I need your help please.

Everything has it logic and you are saying that, when cold, it is hard to start the engine and, when it warms up, everything is alright. Then, it has to be that the temperature sensor is failing or has a bad contact. You can as well try replacing your coil with one that is exactly the same model as your and checking if it is the coil that is causing the problem. Good luck and I hope you can find the solution. If you do, please comment it so that we keep helping others.

Hello, I had a Golf GL 96 and had your same symptoms. They were finally solved when both the TPS sensor and the coil were replaced. The engine stabilized and the fuel consumption was considerably reduced.
