Hello,
My 88' Jetta GLI 16v will not start. The Fuel pump relay is crackling, although both the Fuel pump and the transfer pump are working.
The car will fire, about twice if it's sat awhile, which does indicate to me that it is a fuel problem.
The car was running, cut out, and would not start again.
i have not checked to see if the transfer pump filter is blocked, although that is my next job, but i cann't imagine that is the problem because it wouldn't make the relay crackle (?).
Before the car stoped working it always ran very rough when first started for a minute or two, although it started great. It was like it was getting flooded, when initialy started if i pushed the accelerator it would choke up and almost die.
Cruising would also 'stutter', particualy going up hills, loosing power for a split second. A flat spot.
Any ideas???
I'm thinking maybee a sensor has broken or something...but i don't know or which one???????
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks, Simon.
