for #1 some loose wires....do they work when its cold out?</P>
for #2 i belive lifters make a ticking sound.....oil level ok?....also check spark plugs maybe bad detonation</P>
for #3 the only thing i can think of why your car is munchingon batteries is a bad <FONT size=2>alternator</FONT></P>
#4 had this prob and thought i got it fixed (O2 sensor)but it came back dosent stall any more butsome timesat lights/stop signs the tack dives to 200 rpm and then goes back to normal...verry noticable a night when my headlights dim and go back to normal</P>
i just puchesed a vag http://www.ross-tech.com for my car to get all my falts pinpointed.....sorry to say but you cant get this for your car</P>
