I believe their is 3 temp sensors on the engine. I have had starting problems with my car for a while but took it german automotive in geelong who was very helpful and found it was the other two sensors (i had already replaced the blue one)
Car runs sweet now :)
Will give that a whirl, plus the tuning and digifant rundown procedure and check my throttle switch which is what
the esteemed boys in the uk forum believe.
Wish me luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!
that was trhe other thing, the throttle switch was also an issue on my car too.Quote:

Timing set to factory 6deg BTDC, O2 sensor replaced, all wiring replaced to the sensor, battery new, bottom end new,
STILL NOTHING!!!!
WTF is with this thing guys?? PIA to do all that and still get this cutting out....
Engine code for bottom end is 2E, 1990 golf gti built 08/90. If this helps anyone out there.....:facepalm:
Also all earth wires replaced and checked against the -tive of the battery and are tip top.
So rule that out aswell
does it restarts once it dies? is the engining turning and firing?
Keep researching... Bentley Manual: VW GTi, Golf, Jetta 1985-1992
Hey yea once it dies, I can turn it back over. Once I turn it back over it splutters and idles for a little bit then dies again.
Thanks for the manual link, but I already have been using it at nauseum....
Will try the relays and the main pump inside the tank to see whether its fueling properly.
Thanks again
When it dies, what does the tacho do/show?
Just falls to zero or does it bounce around wildly?
Starts losing revs initially then dies.. And if you try and accelerate it does not have any "go".......
