Every time I put gas in my car I have to press on the gas pedal and turn the key to get it to start. I have already replaced the purge valve once. any suggestions?

Yea it acts likes it going to start but then sputters and stalls out

Ok this helps diagnos the car. Most causes for this is either fuel related, such as cloged filters or bad fuel pumps. To diagnose the pump turn your key to power on with your back seat opened and listen for the buzz the pump makes for 3-5 seconds. Check this 2-3 times in a row to be sure it does this on a regular bases. If you hear the buzz normal each time the pump is fine. Next if you have not replaced your fuel filter in over 2 years do so especially if you been using crappy cheap gas, or if you left the car sitting for over a month. next is to remove the mass air flow sensor and clean it with MAF cleaner. Remove the entire housing and clean it theroly back and front. The next part is to have all the coil packs checked. Its not uncomman for a car thats never had them replaced to have one go faulty and also cause this issue. For this you will need to take out the plugs and plug them into the coil packs and set them near a metal surface and turn your key. If you see no spark then the pack or the plug are no good any more. Other sure signs is a heavy carbon deposit on the plug between the gap. This all being said if you want to trouble shoot the easy way find a VW/Audi specialist shop equipped with rosstech software scan your car. Be sure to ask if they have this software since regular obd testers only see the surface issues in VW's and Audis. with all the new fangled electronics in these cars i can be anything these days. If you require assistance in finding a shop jsut go to your phone type in vw specialist in your google map app and you will get most specialist garages in your area. If your in toronto or near toronto look up VIN Test they are the best VW shop in that area.

I am also posting the location of the MAF sensor in this model of car.

Be aware that you may also still have a faulty purge valve, even though it's new.

Thank you. I probably do need to replace my fuel filter since I haven't yet. Also when I replaced the purge valve it started fine once and that was it.

did you fixed your problem?

Ima having the same problem with my 2013 jetta except now check engine light is on blowing white smoke and battery won't keep a charge. Any ideas

Brit I am having the exact same problem with my 2013 Jetta. Did you figure out what was causing this to happen? Weird it is only when I put gas as well. Starts fine every other time. I would appreciate any further info you have!

I am having the same issue with my 2013 Jetta. I tried replacing the fuel cap as suggested by the dealership. That didn't help. I will try the fuel filter next

I am having the same issue. I think this may be an issue if any of us ran the car really low on fuel one day. I am going to try to purge the line first before attempting a fuel filter or replacing the purge valve.

I'm having the same issue with my 09 jetta

I have the same prob. Fir several years with my Jetta. I only have probs starting after i put gas in the car. Although Deathjam has made some points does not make sense that fuel filter or coil paks need service. This would be a ongoing problem for ur car that would degenerate over time. Not just at gas time. Has to be a sensor probably in emissions. Taking mine in tomm for ck. I ll update.

My 2015 Jetta won’t start every time I put gas X have anybody came up with a solution? I tried the new gas cap thing already , now I’m hearing it could be my canister purge selenoid

after getting gas i turn key over it starts and cuts right back off and if i wait 5sec try again it starts i ease down on gas and it sounds like it wants to cut back off but i put it in gear and go. I can go fifty places cut it off and it starts right up never had problem about it starting even in cold temps. but every time i put fuel in from anywhere any brand it does this and other than that it runs fine

I have the same issue and keep bringing my car to the dam dealership and they seem not to know anything about what's going on with it. within a month I spent wright at 5,000. a piece of shit.

it's should have a recall on this gas issue because we all can't just be going through the same thing.
