onepoint8teesorry I could not stay on the forum.

I did not mean to triple post, i am just getting very frustrated with my car. This is my first audi ever and things have not been smooth at all.

My car is not giving a check engine light one and not even a single freaking code. I was advised to change the mass air flow sensor, which I did, and nothing has change.

The only things i have done in my car was upgrade to KO4 and a unitronic chip. I drove amazingly nice for a couple of days, and then one day as I was merging on to the freeway the car hesitate like it was not getting gas and slowly the power started to go away.

Try unplugging the battery for 15-30 mins and see what happens. Its tricky when you dont have fault codes to work with. You saying a 5 bar fpr, or any change to fueling is NOT recomended to use with the k04 unitronics chip? I would find that hard to believe. Not sure how long youve had the chip.. Most places have an unconditional 30 day money back gaurantee. Maybe take advantage of that (if you can)and go with GIAC. You dont hear any odd noises or anything other than its just lost power? Do you have a boost gauge?

10 mins is fine. When you plug it back in, turn your car ON not START. YOu will hear a high pitch whine (tb reseting), when it stops, you can start the car.

onepoint8tee could there be the possibility of the chip going bad or being deffective? I had the chip for 1 week but it only worked well for 2 or 3 days. I do not have a boost gauge. They did not change the fpr because they said my car already had a 5 bar one.
