About 2 months ago, I started having problems with my car dying. Over the last couple weeks, it has gotten a lot worse, and now today I can?t even keep it going without it dying. Basically what is happening is right after I start the car, it dies immediately after turning over. I have to try starting it a bunch of times before it finally gets going. But once it gets going, it randomly dies anywhere from 10 seconds after it starts, to a couple minutes. As I said, today I can?t even keep it going well enough to drive half a mile down the street without it continuously dying. Before going to a mechanic and spending a couple hundred just for them to try and find out what?s wrong... I was wondering if anyone had any possible ideas of what it could be. My car is a 1997 Jetta GL 2.0 with an automatic transmission.
Oh I forgot to add this. Not even a month ago, i took my car in to have a premium tune-up thinking it would help the problem, which it didn?t. So the spark plugs and wires have both recently been replaced, the fuel injection and filter have been cleaned, and whatever else they do at Pep Boys when you get the "platinum tune-up". The car also doesn?t do anything note worth before dying while it?s being driven. It doesn?t sputter, lose power, or anything. It just dies as if i turned off the ignition.
