VW Question!

[Fader]

I have a 1999.5 AEG 2.0L Jetta I am working on at the moment. Problem: Car will start. Car will run perfect. I can take it on short trips and no problems (10Km at most). If I drive any longer than that the car will not restart. Sometimes waiting for it to “cool down”, it will start up again. If I jump start it (standard) it will start up. Stumped here. 🙁

Its like the car has a electrical problem somewhere.. As far as coolant goes its fine and fans kick in.

All great posts above, Check that crank sensor first.

Will do. Plan on bringing a can of that ‘circuit freeze’ and my OBDII reader on a long drive tomorrow. Hopefully the car will act up when I stop… Working fine right now since its -12 out and its been sitting all day. will keep you all posted as to how I fair out.

If its heat soak failure you would think that it would cause car to stall after heated up?! hmmmm Anyways.. wait till tomorrow i guess 🙂

I have never heard of that ‘Circuit Freeze’. Very interesting.

It would be nice to see a scope pattern of a CKP with that circuit freeze adhered to the CKP sensor.

If it is the crank sensor, then yes, I would think so. In fact, each time I have seen a bad one that’s exactly what would happen – runs for about 2-5 minutes then just cuts out. Spray it and it works again for a minute or two. But you can use the spray to diagnose other parts too.

It’s a spray, handy to have around:

You and I both!

Do you really mean bump start or jump start? Jump starting is done by using cables and another car’s battery, bump start means you pop it into gear while it’s moving.

+1 to the above post. More information is needed.

Also, if the vehicle will not start back up, you need to see if your missing fuel or spark. Start with the basics.

I would start with a fuel pressure test KOEO to see if you have adequate pressure. If th

Sorry Bump started it. I actually just got in from the car. MIL light on finally. says P0322. Reader just tells the number not discription.

You can also put the CEL code in the search function of this website also.

Ok thanks I’ll see what I come up with.

Thanks dreamer2355 … got a:
P0322GenericIgnition/Distributor Engine Speed Input Circuit No Signal

I am assuming this would be the crankshaft sensor!?

[dreamer2355]

Use the link i provided. It is somewhat helpful.

You will need a wiring diagram for this one as well as doing some basic electrical testing.

We do have a free link to Chilton’s online in the ‘How To’ forum that might show some wiring diagrams.

That code and symptoms often point to a bad crankshaft position sensor. I’d check there.

[Fader]

Thanks guys for your help. Got the wire diagrams and info I need to test for OHMs on the sensor. Wish me luck! 🙂
