Start up Problems of my 1989 Golf GL

to the immobilizer , a flat battery is the same as no battery so it kicks min the immobilizer system to stop the car from being stolen
reset using a scan tool

What engine does your car have 4 or 6 cylinder ? Does it have a distributor or coil on plug ignition system ? First thing is check for battery voltage at the coil or coils ! How to test an ignition coil and ignition module with test light Watch this guy here an some other videos ! Hope you find what you need !

You are describing a bad ignition switch. These fail in such a way that the voltage to the ignition fails while in the crank position.

Can be loose battery connection,or weak starter motor/solenoid.Sometimes new battery even comes weak/faulty.Get the battery bench tested at local car garage.

It can be the issue with weak battery or faulty battery or if battery is ok,then its faulty starter causing the issue.

Thanks.

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.

To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

remove distributor cap and rotor on back side if distributortake two little bolts out unplug and reinstall

Change ECT/engine coolant temperature/sensor.Black with 4 wire plug.No screw there-only with pin.

So you have no crank no start correct?
Battery must be fully charged ( three day charge) or new.Make sure battery cables are clean and tight.
Use meter and make sure B+ making it to starter .
If B+ not at starter then check cable to starter and neutral safety switch and ignition switch.

This is for crank no start

B+ goes from battery to Ignition switch to coil to switching device( ignition module) to plug.
use a volt meter and find out where B+ stops.

you probably have water in the gas.you will have to add "heet"to the gas and maybe even remove the air intake tube and try to start it using starting fluid.
