I know this problem occurs to a few(at least) mk3 owners, but seems some of us don't get the right diagnose answer. It just get me angry when I crank my engine up. Have no idea why my engine just couldn't start up at first most time. Most of the time I realise I have to give a bit of gas to start her up. but few of the times the techo still wanna drop below 800 and gives up. I believe it shouldn't be the chip inside the key, nor spark plugs and leads. I have not much technical sense, or whatever you call...I got two questions upon this problem:
1. Does oil viscosity make this occur? As I always chuck 5W-30 EDGE oil all the time since i bought my car, but a garage just suddenly wanna chuck 10W-30 Helix in it during the major service, and seems they only topped it up to 2.5/4 of the stick.
2. My Mk3 has an ADY engine in it, and I took out the duct which link between the panel and the "Air Box" is, and got a duct down front instead, would this let the sensor send the wrong signal???
So if not the two above causing this, what you reckon it should be???
THANKS A LOT
