Problem accelerating my Pointer. Posted by manual-mecanica
Hello everyone,

I have a question. I have a 1996 VW Pointer GLI 1.8. The problem I've been having for a while is that when I try to accelerate, the car seems to stall. If I accelerate slowly, it doesn't go any faster, and it doesn't matter if I'm in low or high gears, the problem persists. I've already changed the fuel filter, checked the fuel pump and the filter is clean, cleaned the single injector ultrasonically, and replaced the rotor that's attached to the timing cover (or something like that), but the problem remains. Thanks in advance for your replies.

I would recommend that you check the transmission, as it's indicating that it needs to be replaced. Regards

Check your car's TPS and also the oxygen sensor; those could be the problem

Hmm, why don't you clean the IAC valve and the throttle body while you're at it, and clean your injectors too? If that doesn't fix it, you have a problem with your IAC valve : P

The JAC valve you're referring to, is that what I know as a stepper motor?
