2003 VW Eurovan VR-6 died while driving as if the key was turned off. The van was running great before this episode. Now, van will start, but die after about 4 secs. Changed fuel pump relay, engine control module relay, and will run with stater fluid sprayed in throttle body.
Any thoughts… fuel pump or perhaps immobilizer?
Thanks
Do you have another key to try? It could be the immobilizer system not reading the key properly. Also, if there are keys for other cars are on your key ring, take off the keys so they are not near the “reader” in the steering column.
Hi,
No, I just purchased the van and it only came with only one key…the van died the day I bought it. Drove it about 40 miles and then it died. I’m trying to sort out if it is a fuel problem or perhaps an immobilizer problem. I would imagine it would have to be towed to a VW specialist or a dealer if it is an immobilizer issue.
My older VW’s did not have immobilizers, so I’m new to this headache.
Thanks for your help though.
