Post subject: 95 GTI 2.0 Starting Problems
I have been having this problem for about a month now. When i go to start my car after it has been sitting for about 15 hours or so, it takes about 25 times to start. I have to hold my gas to the floor as well while i am starting it. It also smokes like crazy from the front when it fails to start up. Once i get it started it runs ok, but when i come to a stop it idles at about 500 RPM and seems like it wants to stall out.
I am thinking it is something to do with the fuel filter or spak plugs or something. PLEASE HELP!
THANKS

Smokes from the front? I think you want to identify the source of
that smoke more precisely.

I would tend to not think fuel filter; that would be more of a
problem at speed.

Look for arcing around the coils and plug wires in the dark while
you have a problem.

I have a 96 with the same problem, Does it ever do it on the highway when you are diving and just cut out dead and wont start? Does it sputter when it starts and then dies is that when smokes comes thru the vents and hood?? If it does the Mass air flow sensor is bad. $150 for the part plus labor to install and remove trouble codes from computer.

timing belt slipped a tooth or two? shouldn't ever get smoke from the
intake, just shouldn't happen.

start with an engine service (AKA tune-up)
might be so many things like spark plugs, ign. wires, ign coil/transformer,
dist. cap and rotor, etc.
Oh and some change the CTS (Coolant Temperature Sensor for the fuel
injection) also
I suspect that this might be your problem and you can check it with an Ohm
meter. Wink

then tell us what you find and if the problem is still there.
