hey guys from the forum,

I have big problem and I hope to fix it soon so I can make it back to work on Monday.
somehow my fuel-pump wire burn up somewhere what is my guess because i have no power to it. (checked all the fuses,all good)
I hot wire a cable from fuel pump straight to the +battery and my car start and runs good.
so today I run 16 awg cable from fuel pump straight to the fusebox and hook it on number 18 (with tool, add a new circuits) the car start but will stall after couple min, and then when i start it again the time is shorter. it feels like something get hot and then turn off or something like that ?

what do I have to do to fix this problem ? thanks a lot Tim

 

Welcome to the forum Tim.

Its hard to diagnose problems on the web when you can't see the motor.

Recheck fuses and connections.


You need to get your motor scanned (preferably with VAG-COM\VCDS) for any error codes logged in the ecu and post them, that will save a lot of guessing.

Thanks for your help, I can't do the test because I can't make it to the shop. Do you think 16 awg wire is to small ?

 

I don't recall the wire size to the fuel pump but 16 swg Standard Wire Gauge (I'm English so I don't use American Wire Gauge) should be ok to get it running.
