My VW '92 Passat gives me a headache once in awhile. The trouble is: seldomly the engine shuts down while driving. That occurred when I was standing on red light, started to move on the Green - and in several seconds it shut down.... I restarted it by changing gear to neutral and using the starter = all while the car was moving. Recently, something similar happened. Can any one help in identifying the cause? Please!!

More than likely is your fuel injection system - somewhere in the boot there is a crack and outside air is being let in. This should be a completely closed system. When the car idles it probably shakes and there is an accordion effect on the boot and it lets air in.

I have almost the same problem. When I am stopped at a stop sign or traffic light or rounding a corner in a parking lot and I give my 2002 Jetta (automatic)gas, it hesitates. Engine does not shut down. Seems like it is not getting enough oxygen. It does not happen all the time. Had it looked at by the service dept. Cannot find out why. Any suggestions?
