Engine just shuts off after 8-10 min
A friend just finished rebuilding his S5 T2. It only has a few hours on it. It starts right up but after idling for about 8 to 10 minutes the engine just shuts off, just like turning the key off. After shutting down it will not restart without doing the flooding procedure.
Any help will be appreciated. |
The engine runs its best when its cold. It will idle perfectly at 1000 rpm until the engine warms up a little. Probably, about the time the thermostat opens the idle gets crappy, varying between 1000 - 1300 rpm. If he advances the timing a little, the idle when get better but after 8-10 minutes the engine just shuts off.
The tps is set to 1V. Timing is set correctly. |
Test the water thermosensor.

Did you ever find out what it was?

Is the fast idle cam removed, or possibly mis-adjusted?
I've had the adjustment screw be out a few turns, & it prevented it from idling as that set the "home" for the idle adjustment. Check into the fast idle cam screw adjustment in the FSM. |
