VW Mk2 Golf 16V doesn't start when cold, inc ISV wiring diagnosis!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Not starting from cold, or able to monitor oil pressure when it starts up makes this mk2 Golf 16V not fun to own!
let's see if if we can find the fault, including fairly comprehensive wiring check on the ISA (Idle Stabilisation Valve)

    Right now my '89 16V won't start. There's fuel and there's spark, resistance at temp sensor is 1Kohm (at 20°c room temp), ISV inner resistance is roughly 4Kohm but there's no voltage at the ISV connector. ISV is clean and works when supplied voltage. Does this point to a bad control module?

    I'm getting a reading of 8.1 ohms for the idle control valve, ive just fitted a new one. Is this within spec. Also when I tested the coolant temp sensor resistance I'm getting 0.89, does that sound correct? I've got a very rough lumpy idle and won't run smooth until warm

    Hi Kev, the Idle valve resistance is about right but the temp resistance sounds very low if that's ohms and not kilo ohm's, off top of head I'd expect (and might have in the video values) 9K cold and 300'ish hot If that's 0.89 K ohms /890 ohms should be a fairly warm coolant , could be the cause of cold idle issue Good luck 👍

    Hi, I just found your vid. I have a 1992 Corrado SLC with a severe fluctuating idle issue. Sometimes it will, idle fine, but most of the time it idles all over the place. Down to 900 up to 2500, down to 1500 up to 2000, then down to 1200 and so on. Also when you turn on the heat or air, the idle jumps up as well. Its at the shop now here in Chicago, and they just ordered a new (aftermarket)ISV valve. Any information or insight would be much appreciated. Thanks, Stu

    Hey Stu, cool car BTW!! Yes ask to keep the original ISV, So as a pure guess your valve might be sticking, the temp sensor as ours was/wiring to it as it keeps changing Or even possible an air leak that's randomly opening and closing changing the idle Always make sure the body earth good and rust free!

    Hi, I had to dig out wiring diagram and hopefully the same (as they do change stuff every so often) brown/white seems to earth on the block, and black (12v) should go to fuse 18, either one of the those isn't right, and bit more complicated to explain in text, earth missing from the engine can be common when rust in on the earth points or they've came off

    Caution checking fuel systems, but 1st if be checking fuel pumps are working likely 1 in tank and other next to rear beam mounted to body. Are they vibrating and making noise when starting? If not voltage going to the connections? if power there possibly the pump not spinning . Everything working it will feed the motor. Controlled by relay & has a fuse Info should be same as 1.8 16V Hope that helps
