Default Issue @ Hand

What's up fellas (& ladies),

Just installed my Labree HFC and ran it with the ST upgrade. Now my car misfires to the point where it just cuts off. Also, I get no CEL? Anyone have any idea where to start the troubleshooting process?

Thanks again.

My bad, 01 1.8T AWM engine. I'll try and give the maf a shot. Thanks ghost.

Just unplugged and put the MAF back in its socket/housing. I'm getting the same issue. Any other possibilities?
Thanks again

AWM... coil packs!

1. Check to make sure you regapped the spark plugs (.28)
2. Check to make sure you have the newest version coil packs (2008)

Haha. Good call. Is there anywhere specific where I can get the newest version?

.28 is a pretty big gap isn't it?

I've been looking online as to which coil pack is the latest update. There's the "R" pack and the "E" pack. Which one is the newest version?

Don't buy them anywhere but the Audi dealer. $33 each Audi list (some dealers gouge, just drive to the next one). AWM coil packs are a total PITA. Throwing on "upgraded" packs or hamstermarket chinese ones will only cause you more headaches.

And my bad, gap is .028. In inches. Not feet.
