BEW. P0726. P0725. P2637. I caused P0727 when I disconnected the crank position sensor. I replaced the sensor already. Didn't fix.
So, my 04 golf ( my primary but only running car) has always been difficult to start in the cold. This is the second winter I have owned it. I have put on 110000km on it relatively problem free. I've had glow plug circuit codes rarely but nothing an extended crank couldn't get me out of. Nothing too crazy. Just the ol' crank and stumble a couple times. "Probably didn't have the update, whatever". It only did this on -15C mornings or worse.
Couple days ago it just cranks forever like the injectors aren't squirting. Cycle a bunch of times. It says no,no,no,no,no,no,kick,no,no,no,no,.......... Every time I cycle and crank. while cranking, glow light flashes while the low oil light flashes and the tach hovers in the 0-200 rpm area until it suddenly stumbles to immediate life and all is ok except for the check engine light. Codes p0726 (crank signal range/performance) p0725 (eng speed circuit malfed) and p2637( tq management feedback signal A) which makes for no guts. Clear everything and it runs fine for forever, everywhere, all the time perfect, until it's left overnight and it gets cold. So I replaced the crank sensor when it left me stuck after 2 days of ****ty starts when cold. The first time I cranked with the new sensor, of course it starts fine when it's in the warm shop. Go to leave work 3 hours later and it pulls the no fire thing again. It starts eventually so I head home with it so I can look into it at home. Runs 100% perfect, not a stumble or fart or surge or knock.
This thing is going to give me trouble in the morning, I know it.
I tugged at the Wiring while running. I replaced the crank sensor already today. I even disconnected the new crank sensor while running and it can't run without it... When I did this it set P0727(no signal) If it is warm even the least bit it starts perfect. It's not a glow plug problem.
Any ideas?
