Passat (B5) :: Car Cranks Fine But Won't Start
First time ever, my Passat has stranded me. Won't start. 120K. Cranks fine. Fuel pump fuse is OK. Almost new plugs. New fuel filter. No codes. Almost a full tank of gas. No smell of fuel in engine compartment. Disconnect MAF, no difference. This started over a week ago. The car would not start on the first try. Always on the second try. Once started the car ran fine, did not stall or hesitate. Then, just once, it almost did not start; I think it was the fourth try it finally started. After that I replaced the fuel filter, just in case. It's been fine for several days. Now this morning, no go

When I turn the key to start the engine, it makes the sound (I don't know what to call it) that it makes before the engine actually starts but it just keeps doing that. The dash has the battery light on in red so I think that might be the problem. It also flashed "STOP" at me on the dash so I stopped fiddling with it.
The dealership is only a few blocks away but they are closed until tuesday. What is usually the problem in this case? I know almost nothing about how cars work.
Passat (B5) :: 1999 1.8T Cranks / Turn Over But Won't Start
My cousin has a 99 1.8T passat and its been sitting for a bit so initially I thought it was the battery but it is fine. The car cranks and it turns over but it will not start. It was fine than it was left for a few days when it was cold and has not started since.
I am not too farmiliar with the 1.8T .... I pulled out the dipstick and found the oil to be a little cloudy, that got me worried but last time it was driven the car was fine. It also looks kinda green but I am not sure if its the coolant since the coolant in the reservior is red or maybe orange.
Passat (B5) :: Cranks But No Start - Engine Not Firing At All
I went to start my car this morning it cranks and nothing it is not firing at all, and I do not hear the fuel pump when I open the door like I usually do. It just happened all the sudden. Is there a way to check fuel pressure in these in the W8? Also any known problems to make them do this? So irritating...
View 4 RepliesPassat (B5) :: 1998 1.8t Died And Now Cranks But Won't Start
I've been fighting several problems with this car (1998 1.8t aeb 5 speed manual) I replaced the icm and coil packs just recently to fix an ignition problem. At least i thought the problem was fixed. Car was running good but still had an occasional loss of power and bucking.
Today I installed a new fuel filter and went for a drive to see if that fixed the problem. I get about a mile from my house and the car died at a stop sign. I tried several times to start it back up and nothing. I pushed it off to the side and left it there for the night, I'll go back in the morning to try to trouble shoot it.
Symptoms: I noticed that when I turned the key to the on position, the fuel pump relay would click and doesn't stop unless i turn the ignition off. The throttle body is also actuating at the same time, idle stabilizer? But its doing this with the engine off and key in on position. Also there is fuel pressure at the rail.
What would cause this? My only thought would be a failed ecu or possibly fuel pump relay (though I don't see how that would effect the throttle body).

Got it to my house threw it on the scanner and it brought up 2 cam sensor codes. Replaced them and still nothing. What to try next.

View 2 RepliesPassat (B5) :: 2001 - Engine Cranks For Fifteen Minutes Before Start And CEL On
2001 passat, 1.8, manual 140K. Last Wednesday I went to drive south, and i turned the key. The engine cranked but it didn't start. After trying for a few minutes, and the engine stumbling after a few times, the engine started. RPMs were low, but after a few seconds everything was fine. The outside temp was probably 15-20f.
Over the next few days the car sat, except for once where I moved the car (outside temp was 35+), and it started right up. As soon as the temperature dropped to 18 or so, it did the same thing, crank and crank then start. I dont remember if it was then or wednesday when I got a CEL while trying to start the car. I checked it and got a P0321. Cleared it and havent seen it since.
Fast forward to sunday, morning was the same thing, about 10 tries until the engine started. I got a jump start in the afternoon thinking it was the battery. It started right up (temp was 30+?). The next day I decided to roll start it, started right up (temp was 15?).
I replaced the battery monday thinking that was the cause. But everything is the same, when its cold I have to crank and crank. Once the car is running, the RPMs are low. If I give it gas, it stalls. Once the RPMs come up, if I stop the engine, it starts right back up. Thinking it is a fuel problem, I played with the fuse.
Granted, the engine was warm when I did this. Engine running. Pull fuse out, after a few seconds engine stalls. Try to start, no go. Put fuse back in, engine starts right up on first try. So now we go back the CEL. I thought at first it was just a side effect of cranking and cranking the engine. But now I think there might be a problem with a sensor, engine speed sensor maybe? Coolant? crank?
Passat (B5) :: Slow To Start / Few Cranks Required For The Engine To Turn Over
My wife went to use our 2004.5 Passat V6 4Motion and it takes quite a few cranks for the engine to turn over and start. It sounds like the battery is losing it's charge. When running, none of the idiot lights show anything.
I have a couple questions: Could the alternator be damaged and isn't charging the battery or is it possible for the battery to be going after only 4.5 years?
If it's just the battery, how easy is it to replace? I've done them on previous cars, but with all of the electronics and stuff, I'm concerned since it's behind the firewall and I've read stories about it losing all of the electronics. I couldn't see an easy way to remove it, but I didn't spend much time looking.
Passat (B5) :: Just Cranks For Long Time / Won't Start - Cannot Even Hold Idle
Tried to start it, it just cranks for a long time, it can't even hold an idle. After 5 minutes of cranking and trying to get it running, it starts up just fine like there isn't even a problem. It just started to happen today. I have a 2004 v6 2.6 glx, completely stock.

Bonneville :: Cranks Like It Wants To Start But Will Not
92 Bonneville SSE that has been giving us some problems. 2 weeks ago I left the house and upon turning left the car just died. I had a horrible time getting it restarted. I finally did and drove it home. Put some gas in it, thinking it was low, it is very sensitive to this and started it up and it ran fine. The next week driving home, turned around another corner and it died again. I would get it started and it would drive 50-100 yards and die again. Finally made it home and has been driving fine until today. Went to work and came out to go home tonight and it would not start. It cranks like it wants to start but will not. After some troubleshooting, there seems to be no spark coming from the coils. The coils were replaced 2 years ago, along with the module and the MAF sensor.
View 12 RepliesCamry :: Cranks But Won't Start
I bought a 2002 Camry with a burnt engine one it for a project. I put a 2005 Camry engine on it, and changed ecm, ignition switch, dash harness and the harness that goes from the ecm down to the rest of the engine parts( transmission and sensors and such) all from a 2005 model. But I didn't change the other wiring that goes along the fire wall. We first tried to start the car I wont start at all. No even crank.
Checked spark = good
Checked fuel pressure = no fuel pressure.
But when I use the ecm from the 2002 I have fuel but not spark. So I open the the fuel relay and manually closed it, then the car starts and runs but zero throttle. My question is: do I have to take it to toyota to get it reprogrammed or there there is something else I can do before that.

View 1 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Sweet Smell When Car Barely Cranks Up?
My car has a misfire shown by autozone codes. I changed the spark plugs so that's not it. A couple of days ago i went to crank it, it wanted to crank. The rpm's were VERY low (didn't really completely crank up...more like a stutter), and there was this really strong SWEET smell that started from the car outside. Should I be looking at the fuel filter as the culprit?...exhaust system?

View 4 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: 01 - Car Only Cranks, Won't Start
About a month ago I went to start my car and it started up and died and now it won't start at all. All it does is crank and crank and crank. My vagcom say j271 relay open circuit . so I replaced the 428 relay and it still doesn't start. I'm also not getting any epc or cel light with the key in the on position which is strange to me. But if I swap the 428 relay with the 100 relay right next to it I get all the dash lights like I'm suppose to but as soon as I try to start it the two lights go out and won't come back on until I pull the relay out and put it back in. I hate obd2 so much sometimes.
