I Have A 2001 Manual Transmission Vw Beetle That Shakes Violently When Starting? Costing Me A Lot Of Money!?


ok… When I go to start my VW it shakes then turns off. SOMETIMES (usually in cooler weather) it will start right off the bat and work fine. Other times it will start after a few times, but you need to constantly apply gas (even at stoplights).
Things I have fixed:
Fuel Pump
Changed Mass Air Flow Sensor
Changed O2 Sensor
New Hoses
New Timing Belt
New Fuses
New Battery Terminal
Cleared the epc light and fixed whatever part that was affiliated with that
This is costing me a lot of money and I’ve had nothing but electrical problems (ex: my driver’s side door won’t autolock) and I’m stuck. I’ve heard about spark plugs going bad in VW’s but that wouldn’t explain why it works well in cooler weather. I’m hoping it’s not the Catalytic Converter since the last car I had went through 4 (Chevy Venture). Any help would be IMMENSELY appreciated…
