Hi i have a 1.2 TSI CBZB 2011 Skoda octavia, and when i try to start her it vibrates and stalls. It used to start slowly when cold, but it would never fail to start completely. Spark plugs are new

what could be the issue, how can i start the car to get to the mechanic, i tried multiple times, with full acceleration(does not respond at all), put in 1st gear, anything else?

Hello, welcome to the forum.

What is the mileage? Do you know when the spark plugs were last replaced?

Hello, thank you!
226.000 kilometers, the spark plugs we're replaced like one month ago but the cold start was slow even after replacing them. But when the car is warm, it starts immediately.

Apologies, I missed your reference to new plugs.

Think you will have to get it scanned for codes. It could be a bad coolant temp sensor Maf or many other things. Can your mechanic come out and perhaps scan it?

Thank you, can you give me a reference to where the MAF sensor is placed?

Not sure on that engine but normally inline with air intake from airfilter to throttle body. Had an old volvo with failed MAF and had excatly same symptoms. On mine it started roughly but stalled if I went over 1000rpm. I would get it scanned before replacing anything but you could check wiring to MAF and coolant temp sensor etc.

So these are the errors from a scanner, idk how accurate they are because it was not a professional scanner, does it have something to do with the starting fault?

P0237 can be caused by a failed or failing MAP sensor/turbo pressure sensor but it may also be a wiring fault/short/bad earth. check that its plugged in and making good contact/no dirt or corosion plus check for broken wires. Its normally on the intake manifold. May look like this

There is very probably a part number on it for ordering a new one. Sorry no idea how to check if its good or bad.

It can cause poor starting when cold and can also put EML on if car starts

It somehow started, Thank you all!

Get it to your mechanic and get him to scan with decent scanner quick. Glad you got it started and I hope it stays that way.
