I have a 72 Fiat spyder that my father got tiered of fixing many moons ago. He replaced then engine and tranny with a 70 something VW Beatle engine. This was back in 1990 or so, then it sat. We had it running again in 2001 but never had it purring. Here we are in 2013 and my 17 year old and I are trying to get it going (a little mother/son project) we have put a new battery in it, fuel treatment and we are just getting a click, no start. We read some previous postings and tried the universal tool on the starter and that didn't work. Any ideas would be appreciated. ~Michelle

1998 beetle. Went for oil change. As soon as they completed it my check engine light came on. They checked code, was some emmissions code. Okay so the light goes out 2 days later. A few days later the car wont start, like it is out of gas, it's turning but not catching. I let it sit for 1/2 hr then it starts and the engine light back on. Everything fine for a few days then the same thing happens out of the blue. Just happened again to me. Car was fine, no light on then i go somewhere, park it, get back in and it wont start like its out of gas...let it sit for half hour and then it starts like nothing was wrong and the engine light back on now. What could be wrong? I am not out of gas. Did the guy doing the oil change/new filter mess something up? 6 Answers
