Hello - I have an old 1995 2.4 A4 and its driving me nuts!

Its developed an issue which started a few months ago, at first it didn't happen too often but has recently begun to do it on a more frequent basis -

Basically when I turn the ignition the car will start up and rev briefly before the engine cuts off and dies - the problem is very intermittent - some times the car will fire up first time, some times it takes a few tries or some times it wont fire up at all but its always the same thing - the engine fires into life, sounds healthy then cuts off! But once the car has fired into life there is no issue, it runs and drives very smoothly.

I was thinking it could possibly be the fuel pump but I'm not entirely sure??

Thanks in advance for any responses.

 

Have codes read and post them.
