Well after replacing all the plugs and the 4 coils that were causing the misfires on cylinder 5, 6, 7 and 8 I am still faced with the same problem. The CEL does not stay on steady but only flashes when you try to accelerate. So what could be next to replace? I had a dealer check the codes and assured me the coils were the problem. Any other thing I should try before I burn it and collect the insurance money?

 

lol... damn that sucks... try getting theCEL reset again and everything cleared...
and if the code(s) come back for the same thing maybe it's the ECM but before we jump
to that conclusion, give me the codes that come up...i've got access to alot of diag. info

 

One step closer to burning the car...so ignition coils are good, spark plugs are good, compression is good and MAF is good. Now its going to the Audi dealer where they are guessing that its a primary catalyst problem or something that allows the air in underneath? Once you hit about 3000rpm it turns into a corrolla and wants to sleep. Not going to be cheap. Just thought I would share.

 

After changing the coils on 5-8 and resetting the ECM the same codes continue to show. Major misfires on 5-8. They suggest a computer problem. Should I go with another stock unit or go aftermarket with an APR or something?

 

Did you ever figure out what was wrong with your car? Would like to know if the computer was bad.

 

Yeah I would like to know too cause I'm looking at buying an 04...

 

I thought 2ks4 was back for a second...but no, just a 1 1/2 year old thread brought back to light.

Sorry fellas I dont think that 2fast4u2005 is going to respond since he hasn't posted in one year and his last post was a classified ad to sell his car.

 

Guess he didn't get it fixed hahah.

 

lol... if your going to buy a b6 s4... i'd recomend you get one with warranty!!! because there has been over $20,000.00 in warranty repairs to mine!

 

if there is a strong smell of fuel under the hood, chances are you might need new ignition coils..
