[Mk2] [NA] Starting issue...

Post by Rico »

I've got a Rev 3 NA which refuses to start.
It'll start and run the first time I try it with my foot on the gas but it only runs for a few seconds then starts to die.
While its in the process of cutting out, the Check light is flashing but I'm not getting any codes from doing the diagnostic check.
With every turn of the key, it kicks for a second as if its going to start then doesn't.

I've checked all the obvious stuff and it has a new dizzy cap and plugs.
The car hasn't been getting used but was running fine when it was parked up a few weeks ago.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
