Low rpm sputter

Hopefully you did not get a piece of carbon falling into the engine, have seen where it will cause damage to the valves if that happens

2002 Sable sedan choke/missing/sputtering intermittent

The PO 316 is still misfires om first 1000 revolutions
so the shop did a poor job for you on resolveing the
cylinder misfires

Try a diffferent shop

Have to clean the MAF Sensor & replace upstream
oxygen sensors if over 100,000 miles

Need the correct oem spark spark plugs/any brand

No reason the gas filter should be clogged unless it was in
the car for 10 years

Fuel pressure should be checked

Need to check for cylinder misfires on a road test of 20
miles or more with professional software in Mode#06

The EPC light came on while I was driving down the highway (60 miles per hour) in my 2002 Jetta. Then, after I stopped and put gas in the car, it almost did not start.

go to autozone the brake light switch is maybe $10 and easy to install yourself looks like a plug and is usually located under the brake pedal look brake light switch up on google and should find install instructions thats what i did and saved $100+

02 Jetta 2.0 Check Engine Light

Hi, only way to really know what the check engine light is for is to run a diagnostic check on the pcm using a OBD II diagnostics tool, you can buy one at most auto parts store's or if you don't want to spend the money on one some auto parts store's will do a diagnostics check on your vehicle for free, good luck.

2002 VW Jetta died while driving it.

Either you threw a belt or the alternator went bad. Your symptoms sound like alternator...you were running on the battery till you ran out of power.

If your car didnt overheat when it was almost out of oil, you are lucky. If it did over heat those pistons and your cylinder might have been damaged. Always check your oil or you will be walking soon. Sounds like the fuel filter could be clogged too or the fuel line. Check your oil at least every 3 or 4th time you put gas in your car.

Standing at the front of the car pull the cover off the left side of the motor and check the belt. No tools are required the check the belt. Cover pulls up and off. It's to the left end of the valve cover.

do as bearslayr said... if the belt is intact you likely have another problem... BUT if the belt is broken or slipped there is definitely major damage to the head/valves and maybe the pistons! Good luck.
P.S. this is why you should always change the timing belt at the recommended intervals!!!
