Default 03 A4 Acceleration Hesitation

I had to replace the battery in my wifes A4 2 weeks ago. The dealer wanted $248, so I went and bought an Intersate Battery and did it myself.

Ever since I put that new battery in the car kind of stutters when you hit the gas pedal gently from the get go. Itwill also do it if you are traveliing say 45 mph, let off the gas and hit the gas gently. It will not do this if you get in the gas hard.


Thoughts? Do I need to reset the Trottle Body?

Turn the key on and let it sit for about 2 minutes. That resets the throttle body, likely the cause of your problems.

248 dollars to replace a battery that is ridiculous

i had my throttle body cleaned and reset and it worked for about a day, and than went back to doing the same thing. it doesnt affect the speed of the car, just throttle response... if your in neutral does the car rev slower at some times than other times?
