Stalling problems

I have a 2001 jetta 1.8l turbo. Driving down the road when fuel get to 1/4 tanks the car dies/stalls. Pull over on side of road and turn ignition switch off and car will restart. Maybe go 1 mile and might do it again or maybe drive 60 miles until low fuel light comes on. Have put two new fuel pumps in, changed fuel pump solenoid and fuel filter and still have problem. Had codes scanned and all four injectors had a open circuit at the same time. Cleaned all battery terminals and connections. Stumped on why this only occurs at a 1/4 tanks of gas and no other time.

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.

Don't remember the code numbers after scan but the service guy said that all four injectors showed open circuit at the same time. 2001 jetta awd 1.8l 4 door car.

It sounds like

VAG Error Code: 17645
EOBD II Error Code: P1237

Fault Location:
Fuel Injector for Cylinder 1 (N30) - Open Circuit

Possible Cause:
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)(K83) active.
Poor engine performance.

Fuse for injector.
Wiring harness issue.
Fuel Injector for Cylinder 1 (N30).
Failed Engine Control Module (ECM).

Possible Solutions:
Check/Replace Injector Fuse.
Inspect Wiring/Connector(s) to and from injector, see repair manual.
Ohm test injector, replace if needed, see repair manual.

Which is the same for Fuel Injector for Cylinder 2 (N31), Fuel Injector for Cylinder 3 (N32), Fuel Injector for Cylinder 4 (N33).

On my 1999 Jetta 2.0L I was having stalling problems. Be driving and it would stall right in the middle of the road. Scan with my VAG-COM and receive 10 codes from it. Code 01115 sporadic, code 16708 Engine Speed Sensor No signal sporadic, code 17633 Fuel Injector for Cylinder 1 (N30) short to ground sporadic, code 17634 Fuel Injector for cylinder 2 (N31) short to ground sporadic, code 17635 Fuel Injector for Cylinder 3 (N32) short to ground sporadic, code 17636 for cylinder 4 (N33) short to ground sporadic, code 17859 secondary air injection system short to ground sporadic, code 17829 secondary air injection solenoid valve (N112) short to ground sporadic, code 17833 Evap purge valve (N80) short to ground sporadic, code 17880 Evap leak detection pump short to ground sporadic. I ended up replacing the Fuel Pump Relay last month and cleared the codes. Replaced the Crank position sensor. Them two can cause your vehicle to stall while driving. Haven't had any more problems with my vehicle stalling,
