You didn't say what year. My 90 Golf had a similar problem. It turned out
to be the computer. Was this the first time this happened? For me it happened
several times and I changed the fuel pump relay. Then total dead.

Problem: The car will crank/turn over but it won't catch. The battery, alt. and starter are new. The fuel pump and filter were replaced about a year ago. The spark plugs, wires, distributor and rotor are brand new (maybe 1000kms on them). there's gas in the gas tank and oil in the motor. Now what do I check? I can smell fuel after I start the car and it won't catch when it's cold or warm. The fuel pump is one when I turn the ignition and that's about all I can describe about what's happening. Any suggestions or ideas? Ignition module? coil? O2 sensor box? ANything? TIA Sal Guzzo (fuckin' exhasuted from working on so many projects!) 81 Scirocco S (16V to be) |
