bazz780 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 hi guys (and gals)the only (thank god) problem on my car is this:every time i start the car it switches off straight away (does not tick over and stay running)until i discovered --- it does not do this if i let the oil light (warning light) turn off at half ignition first, then when i turn the key it ticks over and stays on as well, almost like a diesel car where you are supposed to wait for the glow light to go offanyone else experiened this? i have recently changed the ignition switch as well.help?

MrBen 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Could be the fuel pump isn't kicking in immediately? So it fires but has no fuel to keep it going. Could be something to do with an immobiliser taking a second to properly deactivate so it hasn't let the fuel pump have power? Link to post Share on other sites
bazz780 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 hmm, i dont know why it is associated with the oil warning light Link to post Share on other sites
Geastb 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Sounds like a faulty ignition switch to me? Could be that the switch you changed was faulty too? Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 i've got a similar niggle with my vr6...well, it hasn't done it for a while actually (not that i'm using it at the mo).it would start, do a few rpm then just die. totally intermitant, and it even started cutting out a few times.i've changed ecu relay/fuel pump relay...i still haven't got to the bottom of it.mate had a similar thing on a gti and it was two things...ecu relay was causing it to cut out whilst driving, and it turned out it was the aftermarket immobiliser interfearing with the factory immob causing the starting prob...obd2's have a chip in the key.

bazz780 0 Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 could be the case, i might have to ask the guy who fitted the alarm if he deactivated the standarfd chip in key immobiliser or if he installed it in a way that it could interfere Link to post Share on other sites
