Hello,everyone. There is something weird going on with 1995 Audi A6. I start the car, when I press on the gas pedal, it gets to about 3 rpm's and than the car shutsoff. Me and my dad cheked the fuel filter that works and the fuel pump is good. Also we cheked the spark plugs, they work fine. So what could be causing this problem. Its 1995 Audi A6 FWD, I dont even know if it has the VAG-Computer port. Need help ASAP

So after 3000k rpm the car dies? How do you know the fuel filter is good? Were you able to check the flow rate? Why is the fuel pump good, just because its running does not mean its working correctly. Do you have the ability to pressure test the fuel system? Was it running just fine yesterday?

Welcome to the world of old german cars, let the fun begin. I don't believe a 95 would have the standard vag-com port.

well it looks like the fuel pump is in good shape, and the fuel filter looks to be fine, we usually deal with bimmers and benz's and only newer audis, so how would i get the fuel pressure???

If there is a hissing,that could bea vacuum leak check your hoses.

on rear part of the mufler there is a little hole, and the hissing is comming from the left rear side, thats where the mufler is, so could that be causing the problem?

P.S. the gas tank is above the muffler, it might be the fuel pump, probably has a vacum, so it might be a leak in the fuel line, but there is no gasoline dripping from bottom of the car, so anyone else got any ideas? also would my engine computer be doing that???

Just buy a new fuel filter, there cheap and people never change them anyways so your due for one.. I know on my car it is solid metal so I don't know how you could tell if it was good or bad by looking at it. Also, just because the fuel pump is pumping does not mean it is pumping enough. Check for vacuum leaks under the hood, I don't know this car at all, but assuming your 2.8 is the same as a 00 2.8, looked for cracked or broken hoses. But my assumption is your fuel filter plugged, because you generally don't suddenly loose power over 3k.
