2012 Jetta TDI wont stay running,

[edscrutch]

I need to engage the starter 8-15 times before engine keeps running. Immobilizer has beed deleted.
When engine stays on it runs like a champ. Dont miss a lick? Scan only shows ignition switch Implausible Signal Fault Code 008 Priority 3.

Ignition switch?
Thanks!

Let's see if we understand this correctly: When you "engage the starter", the engine turns over, but does not fire at all? Or does it fire, but not enough to stay running?

Thanks,
It fires but does not stay running. After about 8-15 tries, it will stay running.

try to put on ignition a few times without start like using glowplugs a few times, will it start after for example 5 times glowing?

Thanks. I tried that but still won't start.
I joined the Forum yesterday and am still trying to figure out how to post my scan.

Scan only shows ignition switch Implausible Signal Fault Code 008 Priority 3.

And there is no alternate universe where those two things could possibly be related?
