matty1990vr6 7 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 i have a N reg obd2 vr, only had it a week and has had starting problems, (needed a battery lol)but the last two days it starts then cuts out straight away and i can only get a quick rev in before it cuts out. i took the plugs out today and they were soaken wet of petrol and the leads are shot. so will this cause it to start then cut straight out?cheers in advance Link to post Share on other sites
rodney 17 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 maybe... also ISV?? Link to post Share on other sites
matty1990vr6 7 Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 ISV? also what is the MAF? its my first vr6 soo im not 100% sure on things lol Link to post Share on other sites
vwdan80 0 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 hi it could also be the immobliser in the key playing up this gives the same symptoms, or the recieving ring around the barrell. Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 you wont have an ISV mate as your car is OBD2 the MAF measures the air flow into the engine ( mass air flow meter) the first thing I would do is replace the leads if you know they are shot mate and dry the plugs out Link to post Share on other sites
matty1990vr6 7 Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 im defo doing plugs and leads on friday. drop the oil etc. i have no service history with the car so its going to be wise. thanks alot lads. im getting the imboliser taken out anyway lol Link to post Share on other sites
matty1990vr6 7 Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 right, i have done a service, plugs, ht leads oil etc. and it still starts then cuts straight out. i think its the imobliser because i did disconnect the battery for a few days and i think i splashed water in it when i topped the expantion tank up. but the central locking works if a battery is on.it starts up then afta it revs up it cuts out Link to post Share on other sites

wayne_1@tiscali.co.uk 27 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 your car still has the arch kit on showing by your pic so u could have the change over loom on yours what i mean is on some n reg vr6s u will still have the obd1 manifold engine loom and throttle body and isv but inside the car the rest of the loom is obd2 so u have the reader and immboliser this was the swap over period from obd1 to obd2 not all n reg vr6s r like that but i had one that was like it and sparks had the same in his mk 2 when he convertered and took everything off a n reg vr6 so could be immobiliser but could be isv sorry if it sounds confusing Link to post Share on other sites

matty1990vr6 7 Posted May 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 i had an auto-electrian out the other day who removed the aftamarket alarm system and put a fault finder on. he said that the factory fitted immobilser on the ECU has turned it self back on and i either need to buy a new ECU, transponder, key etc or take it to a speacialist......now apparently stealth and c2 motorsport can do this.and DUB 25 i sort of know what u are saying, the engine is obd2, acording to the guide thing on this forum how to tell which 1 it is. but i still dnt reli have a clue lol, and what is and isv? all i know is that its obd2 on a N reg hahahcheers Link to post Share on other sites
