The car was driving fine then when I started slowing down it just quit, it would not start for about 30 minutes, then it started got to another light within about 10 minutes , slowed down, it stalled again and wouldn't start had it towed home, 1 hour later went out started right up. Took it to get the engine light code, got the code P0322, started back home, went to slow down at a stop and the car stalled again. Please help.
Symptoms- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Lack/Loss of Power
- The engine may be harder to start
- The engine may stumble or stallPossible causes- Ignition/Distributor engine speed sensor harness circuit is open or shorted
- Ignition/Distributor engine speed sensor poor electrical connection
- Faulty Ignition/Distributor engine speed sensor
- Faulty Crankshaft Position sensor
- Low battery charge
- Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)When is the code detected?The P0322 code is triggered when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects no signal.P0322 VOLKSWAGEN DescriptionIgnition failure sensor is used to check whether the spark ignition is occurred correctly or not and also used to tachometer drive. The sensor monitors the voltage difference between a resistance which is on the battery circuit for ignition coil. When the ignition coil works properly, the electric current through the resistance is detected as voltage drop. This is confirmed for every ignition event with the crankshaft sensor and the camshaft sensor. If ECM detects a malfunction, no ignition is possible, so the engine would not start. If there is no ignition signal for a predetermined cycle for one or two ignition coils, an ignition coil circuit failure exists.
I had the same problem on my 1999 MK IV jetta. The problem was the engine speed sensor. Haynes manual show resistance between terminal 2 & 3 should be between 480 - 1000 ohms. I replaced the coil pack twice in the same year and but did not solve the problem. Finally changed the CPS (also known as engine speed sensor) and the problem went away.
