aw crud
I was just at an intersection on a hill at first, and i needed to get to the left lane. So when the light turned green, I floored it to pass the guy on the left. Well...half way through the flooring, the car started to chug...really badly. I was no where near red-line either...i was about 5000rpm in 1st gear. There was a big wind/wooooosh noise everytime the car would chug.
WHen I get to the next light, I stop, and the car proceeds to die. I turn it back on. It dies again. Again and again. I finally was able to keep it on...don't know how. Went the mile or 2 i needed to get home. Now it's in the garage...and there's a small burning smell in my garage.
Has ANYONE ever had this? THe car is chipped, but the programming was turned to stock (it has been there for the past 2 months).

RE: aw crud
I brought it to the dealership...blow-off valve exploded. The woosh noise is due to a massive vacuum leak.
My question is...do 2001 A4's have both a DV and a blow-off valve? I asked him to check the DV at the same time (see if it is stock or not...this is a used car), he said it was stock while the blow-off was aftermarket. Doesn't seem to make sense that a car would have 2 valves that serves basically the same purpose, does it?
Can anyone recommend a good aftermarket blow-off valve/DV? I need to get it replaced so I can stop driving like a grandpa.
