This Polo is really getting to me.
It will not start without putting your foot on the throttle and turns over as if the timing is really advanced i.e. it fires at the wrong time causing the engine to act as if it has a hydraulic lock if you know what I mean.
Idling is also a problem and it keeps stalling.
So far it has had a Coil, leads, plugs and Distributor. The compressions are spot on and the timing is also spot on.
When the engine is up to temp and the gauge shows 90 degrees, on the snap-on scanner it shows that the engine is at 25 degrees??
I scanned for codes and got these:
1 00282 Throttle position actuator V60 open circuit occurs intermittent
2 00609 ign coil power output 1 open circuit/short with ground. occurs intermittent
3 17978 Engine ECU Blocked
4 00519 MAP sns G71 not a plausible signal intermittent.
Cleared the codes, ran the car and codes don't come back.
Not sure if poor starting is causing them to come up or faults are for real as when starting the car from cold, its as if the battery is bad as when it seems to hydraulic lock( firing at wrong time) the dash goes blank(mileage and clock) and then dash buzzes??
Any help greatly appreciated as its driving me mad.
In the meantime, I am looking for a throttle positioner to fit to it.
