Poor Starting

[Bean 0]

Well it is that time again I have just fixed one problem and something else has gone wrong!! :cry:

 

I went to start my VR (93) the other night and it started (sort of) it went to about 200rpm and then died. I started it again the same thing but this time with a bit of throttle but there was a big delay!? After a couple of mins with the engin running with my foot on the throttle it was fine.

 

My first thought was that it was the ISV with the lack of RPM. I took that off today and gave it a dam good clean with carb cleaner. Started her and the same thing happened! :x

 

So my next thought was that it could be the coil pack. I replaced it about 5-6 mounths ago but that was with a second hand one.

 

Has anyone got any ideas?

Ok so I got it checked out on VAG COM and it cam up with

 

Coolent temp sensor ( which I sorted)

Hall sensor

 

It seems to be running ok now with the hall sensor fault. How is this possible?

the cam sensor fault could be intermittant. Have you experienced any loss of power/hesitancy?

yes it does happen some times. What is the best thing to do just replace it with a new one (how much are they?)

or would it be best to have the sensor out and try and give it a bit of a clean off?

Cam sensors are about £38 from VW. I'm not sure if they can be cleaned and have never heard of anyone trying to clean one. You could try that but it's probably best to get a new one and be done with it.
