2001 Volkswagen Passat

Asked by Intuitive57 Sep 28, 2018 at 12:06 AM about the 2001 Volkswagen Passat GLS V6 4Motion

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So I have a 2001 Volkswagon Passat automatic
AWD and it's my daily driver. A few days ago she
was driving just fine and I was parked outside the
plasma center, I had music running and the car
was off draining the battery of course so I went to
start the car and she was turning over but didnt
start, I gave her gas and she still didnt start. I took
the key out and gave it a min and then she started
fine. After a few minutes I turned the car off and
after some time had passed this happened again,
once I was running I got on the freeway towards
nampa. As I was coming to a stop off of the
freeway exit the car shut off, this hasnt ever
happened before, there wasnt any noises or
sputtering and there was still gas in the car. I tried
to start the car and it was turning over but didnt
start, we pushed the car through the intersection
and I tried to start the car a few times while
pushing and it wouldnt start. After we got the car
in a safe spot it refused to turn over and my dash
lights flickered on and off. I got a jump start and
tried to start the car, she turned over the same way
it had before but still refused to start. So I'm
thinking the car isnt getting fuel or spark
somewhere, I'm going out with started fluid
tomorrow to see if I can get her started but I
wanted to see if I can get any feedback and any
suggestions of what else to try to get her running
