Hey guys, I recently picked up a 1999 a4 5spd blah blah 1.8t, chipped, borla exhaust, etc etc. anyway..

the car sputters when i punch it, and the turbo lags, so it doesnt spool up right away. I had a CEL and got it checked, and it had nothing to do with the engine. It was something else. Anyway, I was on my way to a friends house and then my CEL flashing light came on. I knew something was wrong obviously, the car was constantly sputtering. Sounds like an STI with an exhaust when i go AT ANY SPEED. Im clueless on what to do, and the closest audi dealership is an hour away. Any help would be greatly apprecaited. I need to have it fixed by tuesday. If anyone has ANY ideas, please call me. 630-740-7369 or email me at teamdaraptor@yahoo.com

thanks so much guys!

get ur codes read first

 

...i've already done that... i've had them read. they posted one forthe engine coolant temp. sensor. I'll have them read again thosincethe new CEL

 

If your CEL was flashing then you are misfiring. That means you have either a bad coil pack or packs, or your sparkplugs are messed up. Could be a couple other things but just check those out. Also the CTS or Coolant Temp Sensor can cause a lot of problems with the car. Mine was bad and I was getting a bunch of random stuff happening to my car. Once I fixed it everything else was fine.

change ur ECT, it can cause a misfire and it's a rly cheap part too

 

A bad ECTS wont cause a misfire.

If your CEL was flashing Ill bet my right, no wait, LEFT nut its either your ICM or a coil pack(s).

Get your ecu scanned and post the codes.

 

anyone want to hold him to this claim?

 

i'll bet u my spank me sticker for ur nut. i can sell it to sum1 nutless dude and make sum money hehe

 

It really bothers me that you are trying to put a dollar value on my reproductive organs. As for the sticker... If I wanted trash, there is a waste basket within reaching distance [8D]

 

one man's trash is another man's treasure. lol
