I have VW Jetta 2.0 1995. When I start cold engine-it starts great but than it cut out by itself. It can't hold engine speed without pressing accelerator. When I start driving- car is shaking in each gear especially when I hold pedal in the same speed. If I press acelerator down-it is not shaking but once I hold it-it start shaking again. Moreover it is shaking in neutral if I press accelerator a little especially in 1000-2000 rph range. No CE light. I replaced Throttle position sensor and distributor. Shaking dissapeared for 500 miles and now came back again. Maybe it is because bad wire connection somewhere? Thank you.

You have an engine cylinder misfire, now you must determine which one, this can be a cylinder with low compression or a faulty fuel injector or an ignition issue that causes the spark to fail in one or more cylinders.

-It could be low compression due to blow head gasket, Burn valve. Bad injector (s). Low fuel presure


Good luck

SOURCE: VW shaking

sounds like the fuel pressure regulator but first try new fuel filter and maybe clean spark plugs and reset them

try checking the throttle position sensor or the idle control valve both can keep it from running.

1998 jetta GL the air works and runs cold but randomly will cut off? could this be low freon or is it the system?

by cut off, do you mean it turns off, or stops pumping out cold air? If it stops pumping out cold air, definitely sounds like you have a freon leak. If it's turning off completely, it could be the switch is just acting up, or it could mean the condensor is going bad

2006 vw jetta tdi service engine light reset

With the key in the ignition (but not turned), press and hold the Odometer Reset Button on the right hand side of the panel. While still holding that button, turn the key (although not far enough to start the engine) and then press and hold the Minute button on the left side of the instrument pane(if pressing doesnt work try turning the knob clockwise until service light has gone off and skip the pressing)l. Release both buttons at the same time.

2003 vw jetta wolfsburg bogs on early acceleration

Don't know if it applies to your diesel but most later gas engined vehicles have a 'cold start' valve that supplies additional fuel to the fuel/air mix along with boosting the idle speed until some warming of the engine is sensed.
