What does it mean when 2001 beetle starts but shuts of immediately after. Oil is fine and has gas.

The proper weight for your oil should be written on the oil fill cap located under your hood. It's like a 20 weight oil.

Try checking the sensors.Thank you for asking and I hope this helps you.Please leave me a 4 thumbs up.

The bproblem ussually is there isnt enough fuel pressure try fuel filter first then if that does not cure it you will have to get new fuel pump.

maybe coil pac!!!

It's very possible a coincidence and that the flashing oil light is the oil pressure switch. I'd check it out immediately to make sure there's sufficient oil flowing through the engine. Merely jump starting the car shouldn't have knocked anything loose so to be on the safe side, assume there's an oil pressure issue. You were right to not use the car in the interim.

oil pressure sensor = when oil light comes on = sensor is not recieving a high enough oil pressure. 1) Did you check the oil level in the engine? 2) if the oil level is fine, and it just had an oil change, the filter (filament style) might have been installed upside down. also does the light come on and beep only during first couyple seconds of being started or while driving down the road?

run a scan tool on it and make sure there are no codes, if there is codes address those problems first, if no codes.. next time it won't start check for fuel preasure. it is probably a fuel pump getting ready to go out or they may be a large amount of something other than gas clogging the pick-up sock at bottom of fuel pump.

Try changing the engine temp sensor. The sensor will be telling the ECU that the engine is hot when actually its cold. therefore the fuel mixture will be weak.I this doesnt cure it, i would be looking at fuel starvation. Faulty of cracked fuel pump or just maybe run out of fuel.

TL

i have had the same problem at times. my car would start and then shut off. but i found that i needed oil and check my oil and it was a quater low put in some oil and everything went fine i notices that everytime the oil is low the same thing happens also depending on the position of the car being park meaning that if you are in a down hill position or up hill position i will do the same. so you have to accelarate for 1 minute to have the oil go up. i hope this works

it may have something to do with getting gas to the right places.
