Jetta cuts out after accelerating

Asked by Guru95BRKW Jan 05, 2021 at 12:41 AM about the 2006 Volkswagen Jetta GLI FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2006 Jetta gli. After accelerating hard, when I put
in the clutch, the car dies. But if I let my foot of the gas then
put in the clutch it decelerates just fine. When it stalls there
are no check engine lights or anything, just falls below 1k
rpms and dies.
Could this be a sensor problem or maybe a fuel filter?

probably a sensor problem that is on the clutch linkage, somewhere. I had THEE same problem yesterday when I was trying to change my coils. It just didn't wanna run at all, but it wasn't dying exactly, either. I found a brand new motor/ head and coil in the junker on Saturday. FIELD DAY ( I googled the part number of the coil and it came up to the coil that was compatible to the motor I'm working on. out the door $5 for the coil package.
