after driving my 1996 vw passat for about 10 minutes, it will shut off. It will start back up after sitting for 10-15 minutes. i took it to an auto repair shop and the first diagnostics was i needed to replace my thermostat. after that was done, the car still did the same thing. then the auto shop said i need an ignition coil. i replaced that and the car is now doing the same thing. The auto shop said that I needed to replace the spark plug wires. I did that, and the car still shuts off. today i checked my fuse box for ecm power supply relay. then i realized, that there are no relays on the top row (#1-#6). Also, the #22 fuse (15 amp) is missing, so i put it in, but when i turn the key to turn the car off and take the key out, the car continues to run...so i took the fuse back out. i bought this car in Feb. from the same auto shop that has been continuously taking my money. Help me please!
