Having ECU Power Issue

btwilson86 · 11-09-2007, 03:19 AM

I used to have a 92 Jetta Gl, and one of my biggest problems was that when I turned the key, sometimes the starter wouldn't turn. Everything else happened correctly (i.e. radio turn off when holding to start, lights turn off, etc.) when I would turn it. My problem came from two angles. I had a bad chassis ground from the negative terminal on the battery, and the wires for the ignition were pulled so tight that they were starting to come out, causing a bad connection. I'm sorry if this isn't what your problem was, it's how I interpreted your post.

Thanks to both of you, I will check all three things, and replace what I must and go from there. Thanks again.
