Actually this is most likely an issue with the passlock system. If the car is blinking "security" in the message center, turn the key to on position but do not try to start it. Let it sit for about 10 minutes with the key still in the on position. Once the "security" warning stops blinking, turn the key and it should start right up.
I have had this problem for over a year now. I realized that using the key to unlock the door and locking the doors from inside when leaving the car greatly reduces the amount of times that this happens. I also no longer activate the car alarm as this seems to be part of the issue too.
Just changed the alternator on my 2000 vw golf and now can't get the alternator belt back on - any suggestions?

"Misfiring" After Installation of a New AlternatorRemoval and replacement of an alternator should not causemisfiring of the engine.Either this is a coincidence, OR whoever changed the alternator inadvertently damaged the ignition wiring system.The "fix" for this problem is to have someone who knows what he/she is doing to fully troubleshoot the ignition system, identify the fault, and properly correct it.
ignition switch i promise
probably it can be changed but if you change the whole alternator you will gain a new alternator for your engine in opposite of changing only the bearing which is not guaranteed.
It would help if we knew the year, make and model. It has to be something you did when you changed the ignition.
check the alternator, ignition coil. or even see what the charge at the battery is.
Unless things have changed, the diodes are part of the alternator. The voltage regulator is attached to the alternator but the diodes are part of the alternator.
The frequency is changed by varying its speed, and the the voltage is changed by varying its field current.
The 2000 Dodge Caravan alternator can be changed by removing the alternator belt. Remove the wiring harness from the back of the alternator. Loosen and remove the alternator retaining bolts. Install the new alternator by reversing the process.

bad fuel pump , or bad ignition coil, or bad fuel pressure regulator
