This is a little weird but i figured i am not the only one that has had this happened. i was sittin at work warming my car up its snowing out. my car revs up to 3000rpms while in park and holds it there. so i shut the car off and restart it and its normal and about two mins later it dose it again. so i decide to put it in drive and it drives at 3000 rpms and just like stays there like it is in cruise little weird. then the car almost stalls got in like under a 1000 rpms (while i was stoped at a corner) and the check engine light comes on and the car is running realy ruff. so like 2 days go by and the check engine light goes away and i have no problems and the car runs smoth like always. about a month later it happens agian. if anyone knows what this is or how to fix please let me know. and my crusie control dose not worK>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<

 

ugh, explain to me what a C.E.L. means??? Don't you suppose it might be important to get your codes scanned?? Do you not love your car??

 

i think your first problem is you're obviously female.

the only thing that i can think this would be is a messed ECU. you chipped by chance? Don't think this is a cruise control specific problem, for it wouldn't have dropped ur car to a near stall. this doesn't really sound like any normal problem... and if jest here has passed it without a suggestion... you're not gonna get much here except a 'check your code' (with a vagcom) or a 'take it to the dealer'.

check your code, or take it to the dealer. sorry dude, i got nothin

 

no i am not a girl thanks for the coment i guess umm it hasn't happened in a month only when it was realy cold out so i don't know whats up. but thanks for the help

 

no worries. typically when i get a CEL i go nuts trying to figure out what it is before i go dicken around in my car messing it up even more.

do u have a CEL on now what you could grab a code offa?

 

btw. ur one of the lucky ones with the elusive orange A4 eh? do you have a pic handy? those things are BRIGHT!

 

no pics yet i will get some this week end. yea i was goin to ask about that how rare is the orange color cause i thought mabe it was after market but the engine bay is painted and all the door sils have the stock stickers. i never seen one that was orange

 

Trust me, if you invest the money up front in VAG-COM software, it'll pay for itself many times over. Well, I guess I should qulaify that, it'll pay for itself if you plan on doing your own maintenance. Check this site, they are the best IMO. Ross Tech

 

Orange? Ummm there was no orange color in the US.
