So I was having an issue with my EPC light and apparently my throttle body, so I took it off and cleaned it was throttle body cleaner. I put it all back together, made sure everything was hooked up, and let it sit at "on" for 3 minutes to reset. I turned it over and it sputtered to a start, then was idling back and forth between 800 and 1200 rpms. There wasn't much of a response when the gas pedal was pressed. I turned it off then on again and now it seems it wont even stay running. It starts for a second, then dies. Any ideas?

 

check your hoses again, it sounds like a leak..

future reference, year, engine, and trans will help us

 

ah yea, sorry.

Ill double check the hoses.

TBA (throttle body alignment). You need one done. Its best to do it with a vag cable, but you should atleast unplug the battery if you dont to reset the ecu and THEN let it sit in the on position.
