Here we go again.
Yesterday, I did some reading in this forum, and I came across the fuel temperature sensor as a possible cause. Because when the engine is at operating temperature, everything is fine.
Okay, so this morning I went to the car and looked for the sensor. I disconnected the connector and connected the measuring device to the sensor. Well, what can I say, no value is displayed. So I tried another measuring device, and still nothing. I tested several resistors as a check, and those are working fine. So, I'm concluding now that the donor is defective.
Okay, I've connected VAG-COM and I'm looking for the measuring block (MB) that displays the fuel temperature. According to Google, it should be MB 7, first column. I hope that's correct! It was showing 15°C there. Now, I started the engine, and the value increased. Now I'm not sure if the sensor is actually defective or if there's another issue. There are no error codes stored. Do you have any ideas?
Here's what else I noticed. While checking the sensors in the engine compartment, I accidentally forgot to plug the mass airflow sensor back in. I started the engine and waited for it to start misfiring. But nothing happened. It ran perfectly for the first 20 seconds, then it started having brief hesitations, etc. Then it dawned on me: "Oops, you forgot the plug." I turned off the engine, plugged the connector back in, cleared the error codes, and started the engine again. It ran smoothly, as it should. I logged the whole process. Perhaps there will be a statement about it.
Please provide the text you would like me to translate from German to English. I need the text to be able to translate it.
Okay, I understand. Please provide the German text you want me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.
Otherwise, I'll disconnect the sensor connector and check with VAG-COM to see if the value is still displayed in measuring block 7. If so, there must still be a sender for the fuel temperature gauge.
Furthermore, I'm still trying to log the stuttering issues. It's that darn demo effect. As if the car knows and always works exactly then.
Let's see what your opinions are on that.
P.S. What program do you use to view log files? Everything appears to be shifted or misaligned on my screen.
