change all plugs with proper ones - they are picky for some reason - do not change number or brand from original - coils were probably ok, - get some injector cleaner and run through it but check for exhaust leak at e g r tube - is a common over looked cause of misfire - a thing to keep in mind is misfire isn't always spark issue. hope I was of some help
Sounds like a part is heating up and failing. You can borrow a fuel pressure gauge from any Autoparts store with a tool loaner program. But you need to catch the problem as it happens. What I am getting at is if your lose fuelpump pressure and then the pump cools down and works again, you will briefly have low or zero pressure.
An electrical problem this closely resembles is a bad coil. Bad coils act this way. They lose power, cool down, and then work again. One thing would be to open the hood of your car when it fails. Leave the hood open and try starting after 15, 30, minute intervals. If cooling helps, then change the coil.
Another item is a Relay. Pretty much the same response as a coil, and an open hood would help too. Could be a Igntion Relay or Fuel pump Relay.
I have a 2.4 diesel 375 nm model and i have been told that the problem is solved by installing the correct fuel filter. Mine loses all power and stops, and the curly light comes on, and I switch it off and start it again. It works every time but is bloody dangerous on a hill when passing someone and towing a trailer.
I had the same thing happen to me about a week ago and it was the Electronic Throttle Control. It will stick due to carbon build up. Car was towed to the Dodge garage and ETC replace and carbon cleaned out. Cost me $658.00. Yep that's a hefty price to pay but so far no other problems.
i think kids playing with a remote for something else and they have found it works on your vehicle ,disconnect the battery before you go to bed then they will lose interest
I would look towards you ignition system,as the tach,distributor and ignition coil are all tied together,have the coil and the ignition module checked first.Hope this helps
The battery grounding ******** vw's periodically go bad and need replacement, I would suspect this to be the case.
It will corrode in its casing, resulting in faulty electrical systems.
Sounds like it is starving for fuel. change the fuel filter. May have trash clogging it up. If problem still continues check your plugs for spark when it dies and wont crank. This would lead to bad coil or ignition module.
I have, when I first bought my 02 Liberty. It ended up being a faulty ECU. ECU is the computer brain that controls the whole car. I had it replace and it never happened again.
