1994 VW Jetta III cranks and won't start
two weeks ago, on my way from from work, my jetta was losing coolant
due to broken hose, got overheated and stalled right after i had parked it. now it will crank but won't start. i first checked oil and coolant and there's no sign of blew head gasket, checked all the fuses and replaced distributor cap & rotor and spark plugs. the spark plugs wires have good continuity. i also checked the timing belt and it's is in good condition and has correct timing. still no go all the relays are clicking when ignition key is switched to on. the ignition coil has primary resistance of 0.6 Ohm and secondary resistance of 3400 Ohm and 12V output with the ignition key on. according to haynes manual, they are within specs. a strong smell of gas is present in the cabin when engine is cranking, but spark plugs are dried and there's no sparks at the distributor. and i noticed that the shift indicator in the dash board won't change accordingly to the gear shift. and the string that looks like "1n 02" is flashing in place of the odometer when the key turned to ON. i spent the last two weekends fixing it to no avail any idea will be greatly appreciated. oh it's a jetta III GL model with 4 cyl 2.0L ABA FI engine |
