VW Rabbit 2009, EPC light and P0322 code. Ignition needs to be cranked 4-5 seconds before car starts.

Had no issues but recently went for an oil change. Not sure if it was something the mechanic did or just bad timing but an hour later when I tried starting my car, it wouldnt. After cranking the ignition for a few seconds it does start but with the EPC light and check engine sign (I checked and the code is P0322). Haven't noticed any other issues driving once the car starts though.

P0332 = Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor/engine speed (RPM) sensor - no signal.
The sensor monitoring the RPM's of the engine isn't communicating with the vehicle's ECU, (brain). This could explain the difficulty starting the engine.

I had the same symptoms and found I had suffered from turbo failure and the final cost at the dealer was $3500, last VW I will ever own. I hope this isn't your trouble too, good luck

Guys, what you are experiencing is the car built warning system. When your engine light blinks it indicates a Major Problem has occurred or is occurring in the engine. When this occurs the cars goes into a "safe," mode which means all power is cut by at least half in an effort to save the car from more major damage. You can take your VW to any large chain autoparts store (autozone, advance, etc) a lot of them are offering a free engine diagnosis. Do this if possible to see where the problems maybe coming from and ways to fix them.

SOURCE: EPC Light on , VW dies when stopping

Tell him to clean the electrical connector at the throttle body with 90% rubbing alcohol. He may want to use a nylon brush on the contact pins while cleaning. I'm pretty sure the car needs a throttle adaptation performed also. Find a shop with a Vag Com scanner, they can do it for you.

2002 VW Golf 2.0. Car wouldn't start code P0321 replaced crankshaft sensor, car still won't start but now gives me code P0322.

2.0L liter? must be MARK IV in UK???? petrol right? not 2.0 TDI

ours is USA only 1.8L I4, here. +2.5 and 2.8
or 1.8L is belted cams.

In UK the belt is 120km /5year rated. at VW


the manual said for p0322 , the 2 sensors read wrong
that means it is out of time.
and fully normal this old. ignored for 20years, 2002 to 2023?


if the cam belt is bad
1000 new cam and crank sensors will never ever fix the car.
see?
with a water pump too see how it runs off the same cam belt>
do the full kit.

see this for fast example, and real, belt, I'd buy gates belts.or DAyco.

Vw code p0322

If the only code you get is P0322, then it is most likely the crankshaft position sensor. Prior to this code, I received the P0321. Crankshaft position sensor only cost me $15 at ebay while $170 at your local autopart stores. My problem was that my car would crank for 4 seconds then start up. Once it starts, there is a loud air suction sound. Kind of like a quiet vacuum, as if the engine is trying to get as much oxygen as it can. This was only happening in the morning, but won't happen again throughout the day. You can call it a sign that it is going to get worst.

My car has over 200k miles and this is the first time it happened. I've went ahead and replaced it considering the age of the car and the sensor looked beat. It has been 2 months so far after replacing, and no problem yet. Goodluck with yours and hoped my bad experience helped you out.

The code on my car vw new jetta 2005 its a 2.5 the codes is reading on my car p0322 and code p3081 the reading was took when my epc light came on and my engine light on and i have a oil link i smell r

code p3081 refers to engine temperature too low===causes--allow engine to warm up---cooling system fault
I would check for a thermostat stuck open

code p0322 refers to crank shaft position (CKP) sensor/engine speed (RPM) sensor--no signal===causes--wiring---CKP/RPM sensor---ECM

2002 vw passat epc light comes on and when slowing down engine shuts down showing code 0322 what is my problem

Code P0322 states: Ignition/ Distributor Engine speed input circuit NO SIGNAL. the sensor is on the left side(as you sit in the vehicle) of the engine block near the transmission flange. Know this, codes do not tell you if the part is bad necessarily just where to look. Wires and connectors can fail too. I don't know how to test this sensor without a scan tool, the good kind. Which i don't have.

I have a 2004 VW Passat the engine light came on had it diagnosed the code is P0322 what does it mean and how is it fixed? Thanks

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.

2006 jetta 2.5 starts late and it doesn't go over 3000 rpm and engine light and epc light on engine code is p0322. Im wondering what could be the problem?

P0322....Ignition/Distributor Engine Speed Input Circuit No Signal

Well sorry to disappoint you but as this is a 2006 vehicle its a dealer only diagnostic software to locate fault then lift the limp mode which is what you have at the moment ,i suspect a a possible fault inside the ECU but it could be a crank or cam sensor if fitted with the later ,Now an american vehicle can have the OBDII read but it may not be possible to reset anything as the europeon version cannot even have the OBDII read let alone reset anything .Its to put general garages out of business so only the dealers can do anything on a modern vehicle .

ETC light is on, engine has problems starting.

The EPC (Electronic Pedal Control) is the "fly by wire" system that controls the throttle, it took the place of the cable that went from the gas pedal to the throttle body on VW. If this light is on and there is also a P0102, MAF (Mass Air Flow) related code stored in the vehicle's computer, the EPC may be caused indirectly from a faulty MAF. If the EPC is on and there is no other codes stored, it could be a faulty electronic throttle body or need to be re-programmed. The vehicle's computer must recognoze the throttle body so when replacing it with new or used it will need to be programmed at the dealer. Recently I replaced a MAF (a common problem on VW's) on a VW Golf and when I cleared the code the EPC went off as well.

EPS and Check engine light on 2004 Volkswagen Passat Turbo

I note that you posted your question 14 Feb 09, so happy belated Valentine's Day! Anyway, I own a 2004 VW Passat 1.8 and am currently facing the same problem (EPC light and check engine light on) and subsequently, I coded it out, which was P0322. I took my other vehicle (more reliable) into the VW dealership in Olympia Washington. I was going to replace the EPC sensor, which typically handles what is sent to the car's brain, telling it how much gas it needs to run. However, the technicians at the dealership told me to code it out before investing any money without knowing exactly what should be replaced.

I took the code and determined the "crank sensor" was defective. If you call around, you should be quoted anywhere between $48 and $90 respectfully. If your VW was lurching like it was missing for a split second at a usual speed, or died at stops, then I would say you were experiencing the same problem I was having. Hopefully, this will fix your problem? The part is pretty inexpensive, but I think what VW charges to replace the sensor, is highway robbery. Anyone in your family mechanically inclined? Good luck!
