Car dies when it's stopped
Asked by Exoticts05 Sep 12, 2016 at 03:00 PM about the 2003 Volkswagen Jetta GL 2.0 Sedan
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
ANY IDEAS?????????
My car runs fine while I'm driving, but here
lately, like if I'm stopped at a redlight or
stop signs, my car will die.
I can turn it right back on and drive away
like there's nothing wrong? It only happens
when my car is at an idle, but driving wise
it's fine no problems.
Does anyone have any ideas what it could
be???? I have a 03 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0

You may have a bad throttle positioning sensor. TPS or a vacuum leak. Check vacuum hoses for cracks first.
check your crank cases hoses for clogs or breaks this is the likely suspect for this issue.
Mine does this too and it's a 2019. Ugh any ideas
take it to the dealer should still have warrenty its likely a faulty sensor

I had one do that and it was the coil pack. It could also be the throttle body.

I just changed my crankshaft position sensor and it fixed that problem
