Touareg :: V10 Sputtering And Hesitating - Loss Of Power

I have an 2004 treg V10. I put in diesel yesterday morning(10/13/2010). I went to work, everything was fine. On my way home I started feeling a slight hesitation and sputtering in the motor. It's something that I noticed but didn't give much thought. 10 minutes into the drive and the sputtering became more noticeable. To the point where I would floor the pedal and the treg wouldn't go anywhere, it felt like all the power got drained from the motor. I came to a stop, and listened the engine, no noticeable change in engine noise. Everything seemed fine, but the truck was sputtering every time I would press the gas pedal. I parked the truck for the night and forgot about it.

Now this morning. Driving around in some local streets I def felt like something was off with the truck, it felt like it had a V6 not a V10. took it on the highway and opened her up, car took way too long to get up to speed and once it reached 90 MPH it didn't want to go any faster, it just stayed there. I took an exit off the highway and stopped at a light and the car sputtered and hesitated and eventually stalled at the light. I tried re-starting the truck and it was just stay in the crank position. The battery light came on. I tried starting it again and it would just remain in the crank position. It eventually turned over and started after cranking it for about 5 or 6 times. But the car is still sputtering a bit.

Touareg :: 2004 V6 Engine Hesitating And Not Reacting

Exhaust signal on MFI ... Yesterday in the morning this sign came few times blinking and then became solid. I felt like the engine was "hesitating" and not reacting. Later on the day it disappeared.

This morning came again. When I check the manual at section 3.1 page 39, it says something about "not enough oxygen..." Its been cold here in Charlotte NC, around 28F overnight and I am leaving the car on the driveway since we moved to a new home. Should I rush to the dealer?

Touareg :: 2004 Misfires - Rough Idle And Hesitating / Shaking Under Acceleration

It's a 2004 V8 Touareg with 100k miles.

Getting horrible misfires and they're jumping around to different cylinders + other intermittent codes. The symptoms are ROUGH idle, and hesitating/shaking under acceleration.

The MIL has never come on in this car. But, it illuminates when you turn the key forward. (Almost like previous owner coded the light out?)

Replaced all 8 spark plugs, just ordered 8 new ignition coils. Hoping the misfires are the coil packs but obviously theres some other stuff going on here.

Pulled codes 2 weeks ago:

1) random/multiple misfire (P0300)

2) misfire cylinder 4 (P0304)

3) misfire cylinder 8 (P0308 )

4) warm up catalyst efficiency below threshold bank 2 (P0431)

5) secondary air injection system insufficient flow bank 1 (P0491)

6) secondary air injection system insufficient flow bank 2 (P0492)

7) 02 Sensor Circuit Slow Response Bank 2 Sensor 1 (P0153)

Pulled codes 1 week ago:

1) random/multiple misfire (P0300)

2) misfire cylinder 2 (P0302)

3) misfire cylinder 3 (P0303)

4) 02 Sensor Circuit Slow Response Bank 2 Sensor 1 (P0153)

Pulled codes tonight:

1) random/multiple misfire (P0300)

2) misfire cylinder 2 (P0302)

3) misfire cylinder 3 (P0303)

4) misfire cylinder 4 (P0304)

Cleared codes. Swapped ignition coils from 2 & 3 with 7 & 8. Drove around the block, then re-ran them:

1) random/multiple misfire (P0300)

2) misfire cylinder 4 (P0304)

3) misfire cylinder 5 (P0305)

4) misfire cylinder 6 (P0206)

5) misfire cylinder 7 (P0307)

6) misfire cylinder 8 (P0308 )

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: Hesitating When Put In Gear Going Forward Or Reverse

We have a 2001 Santa Fe. Very recently it began hesitating when put in gear going forward or reverse. Once the gas pedal is pressed, there's a delay of up to 2 seconds as RPM climbs, then the vehicle jerks into gear. It seems to run fine otherwise. Mileage is approx 128 k. Maintained very well by the same mechanic until very recently. Internet searches have gotten answers of use fuel additive, install some computer patch, fix an oxygen sensor, change tranny fluid and flush tranny, rebuild tranny.

Touareg :: 2010 - Cruise Control Would Not Engage

I searched here, but could not find anything. My cruise control would not engage this morning. Worked fine yesterday on the way home. Of course the car just passed 30K Miles (now at 30,800) and will be out of warranty. I looked in the owners manual and could not find the number for the fuse and if it is in the right or left panel on the dash.

I will also check tonight when driving home if I can shift into gear w/o pushing the brake and if the green "push break pedal" indicator comes on or not when I try to shift into gear w/o pushing the break pedal. I read on this forum that this could indicate a fault in one of the switches at the brake pedal.

BTW, it's a 2010 Touareg with the 3.6L V6 and 30,800 Miles on it. So, what fuse to check??

Golf IV R32 :: Harder To Go Into 1st Gear Only Now Will Not Engage At All

OK, so for the last few days it gets harder and harder to get into 1st, the rest are fine. Now it will not engage at all. If it were cable, shouldn't it also have problems in other gears? Even with the car off and clutch out, 2,3,4,5,and 6 all go in and stay just fine. First gear feels as if there is a physical blockage. Thoughts?

Elantra XD (2001-06) :: Noise When Engage A Gear

Just wondering to diagnose the noise my manual 2002 is making when I engage a gear.

Generally, it'll clank every single time I put the gear in gear. I.e. clutch down (quiet), shift into gear (clank), lift clutch up (clank).

Very annoying; has been happening basically since I bought the car (but obviously not when I test drove it!)

I do not think it's a motor mount, especially since I wouldn't think that moving the gear into gear (before lifting clutch back up) would cause the motor to shift enough to make the mount clank. If at all...

Anyway, here is a link to a YouTube video I've uploaded. Every time you hear a clank, I'm simply lifting the clutch to engage the gear. I do this quite a few times going forward and backward. [URL] .....

I own a out of warranty 2008 Accent manual, now on 94 000km/58 408 miles. This morning, it started to not engage 2nd gear, then when I press the pedal hard it does, then sometimes 4th gear. What could be at fault here, and how do I fix it?

Phaeton :: How To Engage Gear Lever Into N Position With No Power

Left the car for a couple of days outside... and tried to start it latter at -38 C. No matter how convincing I was - the engine wouldn't run. Well, now both batteries are dead... I have no luck in engaging the gear lever into N position so we can tow it into a flatbad truck... any one knows how to do it with no power? Also is there a way to manually open up a trunk of the car?

There is seems to be some weird electrical issue... while car just sits in a parking lot - batteries are drained out of juice... if its driven even for a small period of time - everything seems to be ok. Thats a first real let down from this car.

Prius (2004-09) :: Brakes Fail To Engage When Put Car Into Gear

I have taken my 2004 Pruis into the Toyota dealership and have been told that there is nothing wrong with my car and it is safe to drive. Here is what is happening.

Sometimes when I start my car and put the car into gear, which you are not supposed to be able to do without your foot on the brake, the car will start rolling before I take my foot off of the brake. I am on level ground when this happens, and I am positive I have my foot firmly on the brake. My first inclination is to push harder on the brake, which does nothing. If I take my foot off of the brake and then reapply it, then the brakes will work and the car will stop.

After this happened a few times, I started paying more careful attention. Whenever this happens, the ABS light is on. When I take my foot off of the brake, the ABS light goes off, and as I said, the brakes work normally.

Furthermore, this only happens if I have been sitting in my parked car for a few minutes with the engine off. It does not happen if I am getting into the car after being away for a few minutes, it only happens if I sit in the car for a few minutes and then turn the car back on to go somewhere.

This is, of course, not only irritating, but unsafe. It can be easy, if you are distracted, to have the car roll into someone or something if you are looking away, thinking that even though you put the car into gear, it will not go anywhere because it is not supposed to go anywhere, you have your foot on the brake!!!!

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2001 1.8t 5speed VW Will Not Engage In Any Gear

I recently bought a volkswagen jetta 1.8t wolfsburg edition 5speed. While driving i switched from third into fourth gear upon letting the clutch completely out the rpms began to spike and no power was being produced. So I neutralized to the nearest stop and tried shutting my car off and restarting it and then putting it into gear it would not engage in any gear what so ever at all. The clutch then had no pressure or resistance in it when pressing down and lets up slowly.

The motor stilll runs perfectly fine and the actual shifter will move into gears in the gear box but the clutch still has no pressure and doesn't even attempt to catch or engage in any gear. Do i just need to replace the clutch or the intake or the flywheel or what? In addition i have since ran the code runner and nothing comes up besides the intake code but that's because i took the intake off to manually try and engage the clutch into gear witch still did not work.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Auto Transmission - 4th Gear Won't Engage

I'll start this off with a few months ago, I went on a trip and along the way noticed that the car wouldn't get into gear. This happened for a few moments, and solved itself.

Fast forward to a few days ago:

So, my Golf MK4 AUTO 1.6L transmission doesn't want to shift into 4th, sometimes.

One and two are good, but sometimes I get quite a lag in between disengaging 2nd and getting 3rd also.

Furthermore, sometimes I get 4th 'semi' engaging, where the engine is revving too much to be fully in gear, but I get power to the wheels and accelerate (slowly).

I did a VAGCOM scan and got the old:

00652 - Gear Monitoring

27-10 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent

I also had a CEL on my dash, which I cleared with the VAGCOM. This removed the light, but of course the error still persists.

I've been reading around, and some people have said the issue is the TCM, but some people have had similar problems and a TCM replacement has not fixed this.

(Just btw, my TCM model is 01M927733LK).

And some people have had good results with solenoid replacements. So, I was thinking of doing a ATF flush, just because it was recommend on some posts, but won't necessarily fix the problem.

Contacted a garage to do this for me (never flushed automatic tranny before) and mentioned the VAGCOM codes, and he said this is a slip code.

So, now I'm not really sure what to do to fix it. Are the solenoids interchangeable? Am I able to switch two gears' solenoids to see if it moves the issue to another gear, proving its the solenoid?

Touareg :: Engine Stuck In 1st Gear, Only High Gear Can Be Selected

Towing the 16 foot bambi airstream this weekend for Canada day long week-end. First 7 hour leg to destination great. On return trip gear selector on dash screen was flickering and would disappear completely. Engine seemed to be stuck in 1st gear but would run at about 80-100km/hour and 3000rpm. Also could not select anything except high gear(high gear/low gear selector just kept flashing)..... Trip computer/Gps also malfunctioning. The truck seemed to be trying to correct gear issues but eventually gear display totally disappeared and was left running at 80 km so as not to over rev the engine. Taking in tomorrow. Truck had new engine at 70000km, has 97000 on now. Throttle body replaced 2000km ago due to malfunction in shifting.

Prius (2004-09) :: Master Warning Light Came On / Car Won't Engage In Gear

Today i tried to start my 07 Prius, all the normal start up lights came on, including the master warning light, but the master warning light didn't go off. No other abnormal lights were on. When i put the car in reverse to back out, it wouldn't engage in the gear, it wouldn't back up. When tried to turn it off, it wouldn't respond to the power button, it wouldn't go off. I kept trying and eventually it did turn off.

The other thing that wasn't normal was, with the power off, when i opened the door, from the outside to get in, or from the inside to get out, the car started making the warning beep with the red car door open light flashing. Close the door and it stopped.

I have hardly been driving the car since the end of June, i take it out about once a week to keep the battery charged, and it's been working fine. However, about a month and a half ago, i accidentally left the overhead light on and it was on for a few days, and then the battery would not start the car. Auto Club came out and jumped it and since then, it starts OK

Stall :: 2003 Dodge Ram Bog Down And Not Respond To Throttle When Engage Into Gear

My truck will start and idle but when I engage it into a gear, whether it is drive or reverse, it will start to bog down and not respond to throttle. Sometimes the truck will stall other times it will just bog down then the rpms shoot up and the truck will run normal after. If the truck does die it will fire right up and have no issues and run great. Now whenever I stop and shutoff the truck the next time I start it up it will go through the exact same process. It doesn't matter how long the truck has been shut off. Could be a minute could be a day. Truck has 177k miles, in the last year it has given a code for camshaft sensor going bad and has been replaced twice. Have also had the catalytic converter and the O2 sensors replaced within the last 6 months. Not sure if this matters but was told my truck is California Emissions by the garage that replaced the cat.
