'01 GTI GLX STARTING PROBLEM

My 2001 GTI GLX will start and instantly die when the key returns to run position. It will then start and run with the second try. This happens with a warm engine about 50% of the time. It came on gradually. Could it be low battery voltage (my son has a 980W amplifier setup) or a bad ignition switch?

Need to get your codes read. Could be your Mass Air Flow sensor.

Hello all: I've got an 86 Cabriolet that is shooting grease around the driver's side CV joint area. I've got a little up and down play in the wheel, and my axle has a bit of rotating movement, but car makes no obvious noises or has any driving irregularities) I'm assuming my outer CV joint needs replacement, but my question is: Is this potentially dangerous (like the CV joint cracks, collapsing the front wheel) or is it something that will be fine till I get around to replacing it, and will be obvious when it's really bad..??? Much appreciated Tomm Scalera
