2000 a4 2.8, having problems with a rough idol, when choked when the car is first turned on it is fine but when the rpm's drop to around 800 car starts to shake. may need just a tuneup or plugs? anyone has any ideas or need more info post up

 

Rediculous post, have you even scanned the car for codes yet? Secondly, fuel injected vehicles don't have a "choke".

P.S. Its Idle, an Idol is someone you look up to.

 

Hahah i realized the spelling when i was looking up more... i obviously know its not a choke also i dont know what its called with injectors. The point is my car IDLES rough and i dont know why. If anyone can help. Heard maybe cleaning the throttle body?

 

It's spelled ridiculous.

 

touche.

 

Ok, but still there are too many possible problems with the engine for me to just speculate. We need to know things, like;
What are the codes? How many miles are on the engine? When was the last time the spark plugs, coils and or wires, timing belt replaced etc? Codes are of the upmost importance, you can take it to autozone and they usually can scan the car for free, but im not sure if they still do that.

 

They still do, so does Advance

 

ok car has 97k on it i havent checked codes, no check engine light so i never thought of it but i will. plugs have not been changed since i got the car so i should do that anyways since its cheap. coils and wires same thing havent been touched since i got the car. but how important is it to change them? i dont want to go blowing money when it wont do anything. timing belt should probably be changed also, that should be done around 100k??

 

OP change your coil packs its easy at that go to the dealer Btw timing belt gets changed every 60k so about 120k
