Engine trouble

I have an 2003 Jetta GLI. Today when I went to start it the battery was dead. After jumping it, the tach was stuck at 10,000 rpm and when I went to give it gas nothing happened. I turned it off then try to start it up again and the battery was dead. If it is something to do with the electric system (battery/alternator). why is it the when I put it in gear and give it gas that I am not even able to rev the engine. Any suggestions please let me know. Thanks! Charlie

RE: Engine trouble

Thats right, it will not rev up at all. even if i pin the gas pedal to the floor, the tach does not move.

RE: Engine trouble

even tho the tach doesn't move does the motor rev up? Or does it die....my car won't even come close to 10,000 RPM so that's a lil far off. Check your wiring

RE: Engine trouble

10,000 would blow up your motor I think.
