Problems starting 1996 vw jetta gl 2.0 4cyl 5-speed. when the car is cold it pretty much starts right up but when its warm n sometimes when its cold it won't start at all but i can push start it with no problems. i just replaced the ignition coil thinkin that was the problem but still have the problem. any ideas?
When you say it won't start does the engine crank over ? when you turn the key the engine/starter does nothing ? If so replace your starter sounds like it has a dead spot.

Just tuned up a jetta, put di-electric grease under the plug wire boots and especially the coil wire. The moisture causes mis-fire mainly at the coil. His VW had the same problem. Small pack of grease will be enough. buy 2 packs at adavance auto for $1.09 each.
hallo EPC means Electronic Pedal Control. Fly-by-wire for your gas pedal--instead
of a mechanical cable that pulls an accelerator linkage on the engine,
there's an electronic device on the gas pedal, an electronic device on
the throttle body and a wire between them. You should check the sistem with diagnostic tool. Marko
Check the anti freeze level. It is to low the coolant sensor (not the temp. gauge sensor they are to different sensor) can make the computer to thing that the motor is to hot ( after it sits a short time the steam it the motor thinks it hot than what it is) making the fuel to lean. If it set longer but not to cold the sensor is not in the anti-freeze to will think it is colder and put to much fuel in.
Probably the rpm sensor located in the side of engine block under motor mount in front of the starter where it reads the teeth on the flywheel..will cause the engine to turn over and not start or start and shut right off about $124.00 at dealer..
engine cranks fine but just won't kick over n start.
not fuel related. it was the ignition but thanx for the help anyway :-)
