Oksy, from what you have told us, we cant give you a direct answer. there may be somethings you can check that other people here can tell you, but what you relly need to do if you wnt to fix this is to go to somewhere with a vag-com, and have them pull codes from your ECU. they will know what it means. you will get number codes. poast them here on the forums, and someone here will be able to tell you what is wrong with your car.

It could be a lot of things. Pulling codes helps narrow it down so you aren't changing out tons of parts trying to chase it down.

not to be cheesy but even the cheap OBDII scanner that AutoZone has reads codes- given they are basic engine codes- but around here all AutoZones have them, and they'll scan your car for free, 1st week we had ours my wife called said the engine lite blinked acouple of times- tokk it to AZ borrowed the scanner came back w/ a LRG EVAP LEAK----- (she didn't tighten the gas cap tight!) - hahaha-

I gues what im saying is TDRILL is right if you try to guess you may spend undue money at a shop -$150 or so just for them to say -- nice vacuum leak

Post the codes.
Replacing the coils costs 90 dollars for 4 coils and takes 30 minutes max.

You're in NJ. IF you are anywhere near me in North Plainfield, I'd be glad to scan your car with my vag. Just PM me.
