Starting Problem

Post by DannyMilz »

hey all, DannnyMilz here..

ive got a mk3 polo, 1.6 and its got a starting problem.

the engine turns over once, and then stalls, like its not getting enough fuel?

anyone got any ideas?

sounds like it needs a good service, do your plugs and leads etc etc, but if it is struggling from when the car is warm.....Eg. go for a drive, stopping and turning engine off, come back to car in 2minutes then trying to start car, it could be a faulty temperature sensor.

Sounds more like an immobilizer problem, which is cutting the fuel pump off. its gonna be a mk4, not a mk3 as there isnt a 1.6 mk3 :P
