Could you tell me what the fuel pump pressure should be on a 1998 vw beetle? I'm getting about 55LBS ,but car just starts and dies and won't rev up,however will keep running and rev up when I hand feed it gas with squirt bottle. already changed the filter. appreciate any help you can give me. p.s. I can hear the pump running and a bubbling back sound in the tank.
seems to be the right key and no flashing light on door or dash. it is my neices car and sister says similar problem happened before ,they took to dealer and it took no time to fix , they thought it was somthing to do with the brakes,possibly a reset or something ?seems to be the right key and no flashing light on door or dash. it is my neices car and sister says similar problem happened before ,they took to dealer and it took no time to fix , they thought it was somthing to do with the brakes,possibly a reset or something ?

Hi..
The fuel Pressure for your Beetle. with 2.0 L.
Is 36 Psi. engine idling.
43 to 55 engine off.
If you Spray fuel in the throttly. and keep running.
But if Only start and die.
Check the factory alarm.
Check if you have the right KEY.
The KEY on this car use a CHP inside. to prevent the car to be start with out the right key.
If the key is BLACK and look like use chip.
Check the Red LIGHT on the driver door or cluster , if the light is Flashing the SYSTEM is activated try to desactivate with the KEY on the DRIVER door lock Cylinder. if the light goes off
Try to start the car.
If your car is not equipated with CHIP. see if the light is ON or OFF.

It is called pulse. Lack of pulse to the injectors is a wiring problem or a Powertrain control module problem. You should have 12 volts to one side of each injector with key turned to run, do you?
The fuel pump relay is 4th over on the very bottom row of the relay panel under the hood. This can be the pump too. The pump holds pressure and when the back pressure switch fails the car won't start. Or the pump could just be out period. The fuel filter can do this too.

Hi, it sounds like its flooded or the fuel pump and pressure regulator are not holding enough pressure while stopped. This puts air in the system causing a very hard hot start. Think the fuel pump, fuel filter and pressure regulator need to be replaced at this point.
The fuel lines are pressurized so you will need to relieve the pressure before you try and remove the filter or you will get a face full of gas. The filter comes off by pushing the fuel line toward the filter and then pushing the quick release button on the fuel line. The fuel line should then decouple - the filter lives under the car near the right rear tire (just in front) Good luck and be careful
hi if its not been started for five years and it is trying to start but just won,t keep running get someone to tow you and jump start it because i suspect the compressions will be low due to a build up of damp carbon valves sticking all in all the seats on the head and valve will not be seating so if you persisist with the jump start it forces the valves onto the seats and will clear the debrie if it still won,t go check your compressions yates210456
