I tried to start my car early this morning and it did for one second and then shut down ... i tried again and i was barely staying on and it stayed like that till it warmed up . tried driving it after it kinda was stable and everytime i pushed on the gas its seemed like it was going to shut down on me ... drove it for a few more and seemed to be ok till i decided to hit on the gas even more and the check engine light started blinking and then stayed on ...i dont know what might be wrong with it my friend suggested fuel filter might be clogged but i was wondering if someone else has dealt with this issue ....
btw its a 2000 vw jetta 2.0 150k miles ..thanks in advance

 

i ll be taking it to get the codes checked later and post them up ....

 

codes : p0300,p0301,p0302,p0303,p0303p thanksss

 

about to replace the fuel filter , anyways it needed to be replaced .... then i will check the coilpack since wires and plus were replaced less than a month ago ... what else should i get checked???

 

You need to get it vag-commd. Do you have any vacumm leaks?

 

ok i did cleaned the Maf with some spray cleaner i got from the auto parts and cleared the codes ,and everything seems to be fine now ... i know this must be temporary while i get a new one .....but could not believe what a difference it made after i cleaned it ..... thanks a lot
