Car died on me
 

95 tsi awd

ever since I bought the car it sputtered as soon as I hit boost. i always assumed it was a turbo problem so I turned my boost down and rarelt drove it hard. I recently justinstalled a new 14b, fmic setup, injectors, fuel pump, afpr, and redid my maf by movingit after my bov. Car ran great but it still sputtered when runnning boost, it was just faster...So today on the way home it decides to start back firing and turn off. So I pull over and i go to turn it on again but it wont. it trys and trys and makes all the noises it needs to and the tach shows some movement but somethings just not working..

Is this the coil? Talked to a couple people andthey think this is it.

My car isrolled into some dudes driveway hoping it wont get towed and Im going to fix it tomorrow early as possible so I need this info stat. Please help me!! Also how much is a coil for a 7 bolt? I need one tonight ifnot tomorrow early as hell. Any input is great thanks!

Re: Car died on me
 

You first need to make sure there are no huge boost leaks like a blown off IC hose. After that start checking for spark.

Re: Car died on me
 

Nothing missing nothing blown off nothing leaking. Ran fine then instant backfiring and car=off..

Re: Car died on me
 

CVD is right, go check for leaks and then spark.

Im just going to buy new plugs, wires and coil.. I got some nice 9mm racing wires on there now and ngk cold plugs and those are probably fine but I dont wanna make 2 trips if the coil doesnt fix it. So Anyone want some plugs or wires?

Also me and my gf's father are goign to try to do this in some random guys driveway hoping he hasnt blown up or towed the car by the time we get there. Is this possible to do?

Re: Car died on me
 

Depends on a lot of things...like if he had a bad day at work, if his wife cheated on him recently, if he got a new gun for X-Mas he's been dying to try out, etc. ;)

well If I do go down in a blaze of hell fire from some unfriendly minnesotanfarmer.. please move my body to la and plant some crack on me, a fake id, and an ak47 with like hella shot rounds around me and a couple extra clips so Ill look bad ass and write some cool obituary..

Also my car would up f/s the good.. Fresh EVERYTHINGthe bad I died right next to it and it has an appointment on wdnesday at lse to get my racing seat in so the owner would have to get that as well..

On a serious note though if this happened in my yard Id help the guy out just as Im sure you guys would. Again hes probably not a car guy but lets just hope he believes in karma..

Re: Car died on me
 

I'd go outside in boxers and untied boots...anyone know where I am going with this? In all reality though, if it were a DSM and the guy was nice and not an idiot about things I'd lend a hand.

Re: Car died on me
 

well its something small not like I shot my piston threw his roof and Im leaking coolant and oil and gas all over his porch and missing a rim and just saying sorry bout that dude just chill till I get a truck..

sick chubs..

I have a coil I will sell for $30, but I am not going to be home much today. I could take it off the car tomorow afternoon (Wednesday). You would have to come and get it. The coil worked good before so it should work well now. Make sure you need a new one first and let me know. I don't want to waste time taking it off the car if I don't need to because I have a lot of stuff I need to get done.

To test spark, pull the spark plug wires off the plugs and have your neon buddy start the car while you stick your finger over the end of the spark plug wires. You will know if there is spark or not then. Just kidding on this way of doing it. It wouldn't feel to great when you find out there is spark. Just pull the plugs one at a time leaving the wire on them and look at them. Don't touch them.

Re: Car died on me
 

Id need this right now so new it is.
The guy is giving me a couple hours to fix the problem.

Re: Car died on me
 

dude, if a coil pack and shit will work from a 1991 6 bolt to put on your 7 bolt, docken, you can have it, im getting rid of my talon, take whatever you need, ill help you out with the parts you need, you can pay me at a different time

Re: Car died on me
 

The 91 coil would work, but you would need to figure out the right spark plug order as they probably won't be the same.

Re: Car died on me
 

Cars in the shop gettign a new crank sensor, timing belt, water pump, and all the fun labor charges and tow charges that come with it

Thats also hoping that its not crankwalk in which he says new bearing and not a swap...:) yay for my first fuckin dsm problem

Re: Car died on me
 

It was the crank sensor? I would just swap a 6 bolt in now then becuase I would assume it is probably walked. New bearings wouldn't fix the problem. It could run longer though. I though it was at like .015 that it was supposed to start eating the crank sensor but that number might not be correct because I don't remember.

Re: Car died on me
 

My Talon does the same thing, expect for the car not running, and the MAP sensor is a pile of junk. I just haven't gotten around to ordering a new one yet. Did you ever just get one of those hand held code readers and plug it in and find out whats wrong?

Re: Car died on me
 

I am pretty sure you can rent them for free at checker

Re: Car died on me
 

It was tested before I did that... Its fine.
Soooo Its all fixed now.. Adios

Re: Car died on me
 

wait wait, mine is still messed up and has the same symptoms as yours. It had a code about a bunk MAP sensor, so I got a new one installed and nothing changed. What was wrong with yours
