Cuts out when starting

Recommended Posts

I've had this issue for a few months, where upon starting the car will turn over and the revs will fire up but then it just dies on its arse. After 2 or 3 attempts it'll fire and stay running.

 

I figured this may have been due to the ignition switch, which I've sorted. No joy. My next idea was immobiliser, but I have no idea what to check with this.

 

After some advise or either other things to check, or how to check the immobiliser.

I had a similar thing where the fuel pump relay was loose, mine wouldn't start at all though so probably not related. Worth a go as it's a 2 second check if you haven't already

Worth swapping the immobiliser coil to check - doesn't take much effort, especially if you just leave it dangling free to test!

 

I got one from a Mk4 Polo in a scrappy for a fiver...just cut off the tab on the connector that stops it fitting in the immobiliser box, they're otherwise identical.
