OBDII code on 01' VW Golf
I've been having a bit of car trouble lately, and am wondering if someone can help me figure out what this code means. I believe it was P00332 and it said something along the lines of "Ignition/Engine Transition Circuit" --I'm trying to remember from last night, so that might not be exactly right.
2001 VW Golf 2.0
The problem I'm having is that it doesn't like to start when the engine is hot. For example, if I drive it around, get the engine to operating temperature, shut it off, and try to turn it on like 2 minutes later, it won't go. I have to let it cool down before it will start. Sometimes is has to be COMPLETELY cold before it will start, sometimes only half cold or so. When it first started happening, I could usually coax it into starting if I depressed the gas pedal all the way when trying to start it. Doesn't work anymore.
Any ideas on what that code means, or what I might check into to fix or diagnose it? I'm a college student, I definitely can't afford to take it to the VW dealer and just say "fix it." Heck, they wanted $100 just to hook it up to their machine and diagnose the error code!
I've been hearing that 01 and up aren't really good years for VW electrical systems...at 85,000 mi. I think I might be about to experience those gremlins.
Thanks,
~Slow
