(2004 VW Jetta Wagon, 4 cyl) I have had the same problem as the previous post. The car will turn over, but acts as though it's not getting fuel. If I turn the car off and try again, it usually starts; however it immediately goes to a high RPM (2500) and stays there for a few minutes. After pushing on the gas pedal ever so slightly, the car will return to the proper RPM. It doesn't occur everytime, but usually in the afternoon...especially on hot days. Any ideas on how fix this problem??
Thanks in advance!
Try turning on the key and counting to ten. If the engine starts, your fuel system is either syphoning back into the tank and/or your injectors a leaking down. Have your fuel filter changed and the fuel pressure regulater tested for output pressure setting. If your injectors are bleeding down the fuel can go into the cylinders(flooding) or permit the fuel to drain back. Tjis is a must fix issue because gas will dilute the oil causing serious damage to bearings. Good Luck, Ned.
