2000 VW Jetta misses

Asked by bbballer3 Oct 02, 2012 at 05:06 PM about the 2000 Volkswagen Jetta GLS VR6

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a VW jetta vr6 that misses when im at low rpm's. It does not do it so bad when i start getting higher in the rpm's. Replaced the plugs and the wires. Also replaced the fuel pump a few months ago. Have not yet replaced the fuel filter. Also the windshield wipers only work sometimes. They will go really slow and stop periodically. Any help I will be very appreciated.

I have little information in your story. I need MUCH more. FIRST of all.. a car doesn't miss when you are only in low rpm. it is either missing OR it's not. based on what the story is, you may have a dead piston. anyone can replace spark plugs, but do you have proper gap in each plug AND the wires are on the right plug?? If you lost track of wires and which plug it goes then yes, it will sound HORRID and sound exactly like it is missing because the wires are in the wrong slot. I don't know the fire order for that vr6. Take your VIN to a shop or dealer and they can tell you the F O most likely. take a pinch of masking tape and mark your plug wires when changing them. Being confused over your wires is NOT where you want to be. your wipers are probably on a timer and you are not sure how the timer works, BASED on how much information you have given. Good luck
