Narrative: Cleared for the ILS 19 at TEB and switched to tower. Tower controller advised traffic at 2 o'clock type unknown 'I'm not talking to him'. We saw a target on the TCAS go amber showing 200 ft below and moving toward us. The tower controller said 'maintain altitude' and we then rec'd the TCAS RA and a climb instruction. We complied and when clear attempted to return to the landing approach. We determined that we were too high and fast to continue and declared a missed approach. We were told to fly the published miss and while beginning that procedure we were given a new heading. While in the turn my partner climbed a little to 1600 ft before returning to the published missed approach altitude of 1500 ft. We were then given a new heading and altitude. We were vectored to another approach and landed without incident. Improved scan and with the workload it would have been good to more fully employ the automation for the missed approach.


Second narrative: I was Pilot Flying an approach to RWY 19 at TEB (ILS 19); at 2000 ft and cleared for the approach; 170 kts as requested by ATC; in IMC conditions Tower called traffic (who he was not talking to) at 2 o'clock; we saw traffic on TCAS 200 ft below us and coming our way. As we approached the glide slope; tower advised us not to descend on the G/S (Glideslope) because of traffic. Shortly thereafter we got a TCAS R/A climb and we followed the TCAS R/A; traffic appeared to cross right under us at 100 ft. We followed the TCAS climb up to about 2500 ft and clear of conflict; at that point we thought we could get back on the glide slope and continue the approach; however once we were VMC and saw the runway we realized we were too high and could not be stabilized on the approach by 500 ft. We advised the tower we were going around and the tower told us to fly the published missed approach procedure. We started the missed approach at about 900 ft AGL. Shortly after that we were told to fly a 260 heading and climb to 3000 ft. We were vectored back around for another ILS approach to RWY 19. We landed without incident.I have no idea why an aircraft was flying through the approach path of RWY 19 at TEB in IMC conditions without being in contact with ATC.


Synopsis: A Jet crew on the TEB Runway 19 ILS at 2;000 ft took evasive action following a TCAS RA from VFR traffic in IMC without ATC contact. A go around was executed because the aircraft was too high.
