Hello, just got my first vw im a college student in florida i really enjoy my new vw its a 2002 jetta gls 2.0 5-speed runs great the only problem is when i give it to much gas it kinda putters. ive brought it to autozone they gave me a dummy diagnostic test pretty much i have 8 trouble shoot keys which would be, p1296 cooling system malfunction and the other 7 are pretty much all the same problem which are p0301 cylinder 1 misfire condition, p0201 injector circuit open -cylinder 1, p0302 cylinder 2 misfire condition, injector circuit open- cylinder 2, p0203 injector circuit open- cylinder 3,p0204 injector circuit open- cylinder 4, p0300 random cylinder misfire detected. this is all auto zone diagnostic so its not very specfic whats wrong, but it seems that one thing is making all this happen. like i said the car drives fine till you give it to much gas. im bringing it to foreign mechanic monday to get a specfic problem reading. but thats where i stand with my jetta. if anyone could make any suggestions to save me money or time that be awsome but no worries. also another thing is that i really want to take good care of my jetta and put upgrades on it such as maybe racing lowered suspension, racing exaust to give it a louder appeal such as rice burner people would call it. i want to sport it out in the near future but first things first i need to fix this emmision problem or whatever all these problems are. id love to make some friends on these forumms to guide me in the right direction with my jetta thanks guys :D

leave the vw scene and run far far away, they're all assholes now
He is completely right.

The guys who are the worst are ones who used to own a VW and now own a Chevy. They seem to be really judge mental. What exactly is "race" and lol @ 2.slow. College you think you'd be more worried about saving money rather than spending it on parts for a vehicle that is just going to be a money pit anyway. Don't know if anyone told you that part yet, but may as well loosen your asshole with a jetta. It's gonna spend more money than a girlfriend.

But they can be beautiful cars.

All this guy needs to do is realize that the 2.0 is the worst engine to have dreams about making fast. Everyone in here would tell you that all you need with a 2.0 is to drop it down on coilovers(not springs), find a nice set of WHEELS(never rimz) that you like, and then maybe tint the windows. As far as thinking about making it sporty, just forget about that because it isnt going to happen you bought the slow one so just deal with it or sell it and get a 1.8t or vr6.

always Remember, maintenance first, the best looking car that doesnt run, still doesnt run.
