Just purchased a 2002 VW Jetta Wagon that came with both a remote starter key and a Valet Key. Problem is, the Valet Key doesn't seem to start the motor! The engine turns over, it just doesn't keep running but stalls out after a second. Otherwise, there are no problems with starting the Jetta. Is this a security feature? Am I doing something wrong?
Sounds like the chip in the key is not allowing the security system to allow the car to start. You may need a new key from the dealer.
SOURCE: Turn ignition key but won't start..All power on, is it starter?
Can be a Junk Relay, access is limited, but giving the Starter a "crack" with a mallet, often cures the problem temporarily. But check the Battery terminals, and Cable to the Starter solenoid ,first for tightness and security.
