yo guys i got a 97 jetta worked fine for a while, now its playing games with me. everytime it rains or when i have the airconditioning on the engine turnes off even if im driving. is it an electrical problem or what?.....what should i do :cry:
disclaimer: I know nothing about the FI systems on those newfangled (read: post-CIS) cars other than messing with a Corrado G60 occasionally... BUT...
is there some kind of idle stabilizer valve that needs to be cleaned? or something that lets extra air into the intake when the A/C is switched on? (note: this only applies if it dies when the engine tries to return to idle)
just a thought
nate
YO... dude! Try replacing the ignition coil, plug wires, cap and rotor.
Regards, YO Dude..
Happened to my wife's 96 Jetta 4 cyl. It was the ignition switch. Notorious problem. Replace the electrical part of the switch from underneath the dash. There is a small screw holding it in. Good Luck.
