eddie poorly, splutters and eml light..very strange problem

[JackG]

Strange one this 
Was very low on fuel so i went to tesco and put 30£   in, started her up and the revs jumped a tad and a bit of a  splutter...thought how strange!
Started to drive and had a loud backfire from the zaust...loved that  but then i put my foot down  it was barley moving,wouldnt go  above 4K rpm, then at 3K its judders and pops and bangs...no eml lights but then it flashes and goes off, stopped the car and started it again and then the eml was on, on iddle its fine, takes longer to start than normal also, i think the engine may also be holding revs longer too but this may be me
Ive ran the car with oil cap off and its splutters so pcv seems ok
Idles ok so cant be coils?
Im lost and have no idea,  cant get it checked till monday !
Help

Sounds exactly like a coilpack to me.

Even if its ok on idle?  hope your right

If you had the eml on then it could possibly be a throttle body glitch
If so & your getting the the codes read out on a VAS or VCDS setup then run an adaption on everything, fuel pump / t-body / IMR flap & readiness

My idle was fine just accelerating was the issue!

Yea the same here, to be fair now you said it does click into place so im praying it is the coils, its done 55k now so suppose they have lasted well on a 2+ eddie

Chances are it will only be one of them. Can you log the car?

Were you not entitled to have them ask replaced by vw in their recent warranty recall ?

Fitted them and its still playing up...
No my cat was way after the date...
Im going to plug it in tonight when my friend is back....ive had nearly 2 years hassle free now so im not too dissapointed with it to be honest

Low pressure fuel rail fault....we suspect the sensor on the hpfp as its reading the wrong bar on the fuel system, when i rev it and the cars dropping its revs there is a noise from the hpfp like a metal noise  i only just done the follower with new internals around 7 months ago
i also had the sensor on the hpfp replaced about 2 years ago (40K ago) due the eml came on once, we reaplaced it with a new version but is it possible its gone again?

Im sh*tting it thinking its the cam on the way out

Spark plugs?

I thought the cams were alright on the ed30?

[MAT ED30]

Sounds like plugs to me

Shouldn't be the inlet cam on yours
Does it run smooth when you first start it then sound a bit ticky & splutter on idle after 10-15 seconds?
Also check you've still got power to the Top pressure sensor on the rail pump I've had them pop fuses before
On another note I've had intank pumps fail before and throw the eml lamp just check the low pressure pumps good
(I know all this sounds complex but it's something we'd do in a few minutes if we had the car)

[JackG]

It takes a while to start, few turns and then it starts, and then yes it does run a bit lumpy after a few seconds and then idles ok and goes funny again...
amazing how much we worry about our cars

[Statller-Stevo]

Get me the exact fault code you pulled out
If its not the pressure sensor itself it could poss be down to No 1 oxy sensor screwing things up for you
