This is another problem that arrived at the shop of our TechShop contributor, Olle Gladso and the car was a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta with a 2L TDI engine. It had an intermittent problem. Sometimes it ran great, but sometimes it would idle high and when you would press on the accelerator, nothing would happen.
