Hello everyone brand new here so sorry if I'm not doing all this correct way. But i am needing some help. The other day i had to get out into traffic and my jetta kinda petered out when i was trying to get in front of some other cars so i put the pedal to the floor and it took off all a sudden chirping tires. Well then all a sudden the glow plug light starts flashing and it went into limp mode. As soon as i got up to a little speed was going down a little incline i put it in neutral and turn car off and started it back up. Everything was good glow plug light no longer flashing or anything was coasting downhill. So when i got to where i needed to give it some throttle it jerked a couple times and the glow plug light flashed again and went into limp mode same thing as last time only this time the check engine light also appeared. So i went down the road a little further and there was another hill i put it in neutral again and turned it off and back on everything was good from then on until i got home about 40 miles or so. But the check engine light did stay on. So i woke up next day to go to my buddies to use his snap on scan tool and my check engine light was off. I ended up going over anyway scanned my car and there was a stored code of 000801 or p0321 engine speed sensor implausible signal. I already have my other Jetta at the body shop so i can't afford to take this one in right now because i need something to drive. But i have been driving it for a couple days now since this has happen and like i said no longer have a check engine light on but every now and then and its completely random you will feel a quick jerk. Maybe almost like it misses (I SURE HOPE ITS NOT A TRANNY PROBLEM). Only feel it once maybe twice in a 45 mile trip. like this morning it jerked once up around 80 MPH and then i stopped at a stop light and went to take off and it jerked a couple times but never throws any lights. Im going to get a fuel filter for it when i leave work today but the one in it is only about 10-12K miles old. I do regular maintenance on the car. If anyone has any pointers that would be greatly appreciated I really don't wanna take it to a dealer. Although its supposed to be under warranty according to the extended emissions warranty coverage paper. But they are still going to charge me $95 just to look at it then said if its under warranty i will get that back.
