ENGINE CUTTING OUT WHEN COLD

I HAVE A 2000 VW POLO 1.6CL , PETROL, MANUAL. LAST ONE WEEK WHEN COLD IN THE MORNING, ENGINE CUTTING OUT WHILE STARTING THE CAR , It can be started, when cold, only by giving a bit of acceleration. Even when once started it gets cut out while changing gears at slow speed for about quarter of a mile after which the car goes without any problem.

    Will let you know after I sort out the idle air control valve. Thank you very much.

    The engine limits the speed automatically however when you release the accelerator and press again it picks up again.

2002 VW citi golf 1.4i cutting out

Don't shoot me. But this is an old problem. The old polos did the same. I used to drive. Then It would just cut out. Leave it standing for around 20minutes. Start it again. And it runs like there were never a problem. Solution.fuel pump relay. Out of my own experience

1992 VW Polo 1.3L Coupe: warning light mystery

Bought a very reputable diy service manual for the vehicle, and that plus a bit of thought and nous gave me the cure: no intrinsic problem other than loose relay connections. Went round with the wiring diagrams as guide checking all electrical connections in tight and relays fuses etc all good. Switched on and no problem any more.

By the way, vehicle is 1992 VW Polo - not Fox (which in UK is a variant of the Polo)
