My sisters 4 cylinder 1992 Passat dies and then will start right up, sometimes run for a few minutes and sometimes will go for a couple of days. We replaced the fuel filter and the fuel pump in the gas tank.
The mechanic replaced the ignition switch and the rubber boot that connects the air filter to the engine. It acts like something is stopping up the fuel line. I looked in the tank when I replaced the fuel pump and didn't see anything
Last night she turned it off at the store and now it won't start at all. I checked the fuses that I thought it might be but all were OK. I didn't have time to check anything else, just towed it home, so I don't know if it has spark, but the exhaust did not smell like raw gas while we were turning it over.
I'ver read a lot of old posts most are a couple of years old. Anyone have any new info or ideas?
