Volkswagen CC starts but cuts out immediately after fixing electrical short on Volkswagen CC

Problem overview

Some Volkswagen CC owners report experiencing issues where the vehicle starts but cuts out immediately after fixing an electrical short. These problems may be linked to the electrical or fuel system, indicating that the engine might not be receiving the necessary components in the correct proportions for smooth operation. Additionally, if the car cuts out after driving in high temperatures and the EPC light activates with the code P0087, it could signal a power loss issue. Owners are also advised to check for visible spark during cranking, as this may point to a sensor problem. Furthermore, some owners have identified that the Control Module for the Low Pressure Fuel Pump (LPFP) may malfunction when exposed to heat, functioning properly again after cooling down. Addressing these potential causes is crucial for effectively diagnosing and resolving the issue.
