so my new to me jetta came to me with " minor" issue that seems to change everytime i "fix" something. currently my issue is that at random my CEL comes on and the car will lose some power ( almost feels like a misfire situation) the CEL code i keep pulling is 2214: engine over revved Rpm Signal.... this happens while im driving down the freeway (approx. 3k rpm) and some times even lower than that when im in town.

The repairs I have done so far: plugs, cap, rotor, injectors, MAF and crank shaft position sensor.

My question is what else can cause that code? thanks in advance

Over-rev is usually a transmission speed sensor. The RPMs appear to high
for how fast/slow the car is moving. ALso crank sensor, or wheel slip, or
clutch slipping on a manual.

However, the code you posted indicates an emissions problem, a NOx Sensor,
O2 sensor, not an over-rev code.

The 02214 VAG code is a tire pressure warning, you don't have TPMS.

P0219 is engine over speed.

P1560 is also Maximum engine speed exceeded

So, I don't know what you're writing. The code you put doesn't match any
over-rev condition.

I guess i should post what my fix ended up being...

the hall sender in the distributor was the culprit. i just replaced the entire distributor, i picked a new 1 up for $73 through rock auto, and so far so good. I still have some small issues to deal with but its running like a champ.
