  1. So I thought I had solved this issue but after going to my car this morning it wont start again. Its a standard 1.9 8v gti 92. I have had the problem a few months now. Basically the car will be absolutely fine for a couple of weeks starting straight away and running lovely. Then out of the blue it just wont start. Turns over fine but wont fire and start. If I leave it a few hours or go to it the next day it usually starts fine and again wont give any trouble what so ever for a while. When it doesn't start there is no spark. I have tried an ignition amp, coil, dizzy, cap and rota arm. The problem seems to still be there. I thought I had solved it with a replacement dizzy - mine turned out to have oil in it and the car had been fine for the last 3 weeks but this morning it wont start again. I haven't tried leads and plugs because I am convinced they are fine because it runs perfectly when its running. I reckon I must have a wiring problem some where, dodgy connection, corrosion or broken wire. However I am seeking input from the forum for what else to consider and test. Could a taccy relay cause my problem, I did put a know working second hand one on not long ago. As you can image its starting to bug a bit and would like to fix it so I know I can rely on it a bit. Thanks
