VR6 Engine Stalls, then won't restart for an hour?

Donald Baxter 20 March 2005 04:50:32
 I'm stumped, and my mechanic is stumped.

My '96 Passat VR6 will stall at idle, then will not restart for at least an
hour. After that time it cranks right up like nothing was ever wrong. We
do know that when it will not start there is no spark from the coil pack to
the plugs.

We repaced the camshaft position sensor because the MIL code indicated this
might have been a problem ( DTC 17748 Crankshaft/camshaft­ pos signals out of
sequence ). The car only has 68,000 miles on it so I have to doubt the
timing chain has jumped teeth. The crank sensor is $200--so we don't want
to replace that idly. The cam sensor was $50.

Any ideas appreciated!

Someone called Car Talk a couple weeks ago with exactly the same
symptoms (though a different car) and their best guest was that it was
the coil pack; that the heat from the engine was causing it to not
work and when the car had sat for a an hour, it would cool down enough
to work again.

The geographical center of Boston is in Roxbury. Due north of the
center we find the South End. This is not to be confused with South
Boston which lies directly east from the South End. North of the South
End is East Boston and southwest of East Boston is the North End.
