car won't start after stalling.

[andy j]

My S2 aby avant won't start again if i stall the car. I've stalled it twice now since i bought it in november, but both times when i went to restart it would crank over and not start. The only way i managed to start it on both occasions was bump starting it. Anybody got amy ideas what it could be?

Lots of potential reasons. Battery, Fuel Pump, G40 cam sensor are near the top of the list. Read this:

Had a read through. The car starts first time, everytime when i get in it to drive it hot or cold engine. Just seem strange that after i stall it, it will not start.

So the clue is the stall. Why/how is it stalling while running?

Do you know how to pull the codes from the ECU?

Its me stalling the car, just not giving it enough rev's and bringing the clutch up to quick.
I never had the fault codes read on the car. Been meaning to find out how to do it.
