Default Audi 100 5cyl cold start problem

All injectors should run on start up the cold start relay is only there to
add extra fuel when its cold like a choke

Caleb,
If you can hear the fuel pump running, and you're having a fuel delivery
problem (manually lifting plate does not provide full flow to injectors), I
would check the following:
- replace the fuel filter
- if fuel delivery is still a problem, there may be problems with the fuel
pump pre-filter (a screen mounted on the intake of the pump - may get
clogged with dirt), or fuel distributor problem.
The Bentley Manual has a diagnostic procedure that you could follow, as well
as Scott Mockry's site at:

Cheers!

Default Audi 100 5cyl cold start problem

Well I have temporarily resolved the problem, I was just buying this
car last night so I wanted to make sure the problem wasnt too terrible
before i bought it. It turns out the cold start injector was not
getting any power and to make matters worse i mustve knocked the
distributor feedback plug out but i found that early enough. So i
shorted the injector straight to the battery when cranking and for a
short while afterwards and it worked flawlessly (although a slightly
rich mixture for a few seconds) So now my only problem is to find out
why there is no voltage to the cold start. The temperature guage is
also not working which i will have to sort out.
Anyone got any ideas on why it would stall when stopped and in gear
with the brake on? only did this twice in a 40 minute drive.

I will also note that on the drive home it was absolutely wonderful. I
love this car so far and for $850 NZD ($450US) I think it was well
worth it. everything is in mint condition with full service history.

if you were daft enough to run the fuel pump in a no lubricating medium such
as water you deserve to have spent 30o bucks for doing so. It is a fuel pump
not a water pump. You obviously wrecked the rubbers which are "tuned" to the
fluid they are supposed to pump!

It still could be expensive 1991 ? but still only 80K Miles is nothing
sounds like blockages, but I would also suggest you clean out the pipes that
run the air / rocker cover / vacuum and especially the venturis (do it with
solvent not poke things in there. If the Idle stabilisation circuit has
blown itself and there could be melted wires back to it if any have been
subjected to heat at any time and contacted earth there will be. The
original circuits were built of discreet components and probably will be
okay but the wires might have let go. There are extra wires on most of these
cars for cruise control and turbo connections that flap about you may need
to run new wires and this might help. Also check that the temperature sender
units are working and the connections are good and clean. There is one on a
2226cc unit that sits under the thermostat that I have found troublesome
that may be the one that activates the cold start injector (corrosion may be
the only reason)

They do give up and you must buy the correct ones to replace them and they
change massively on models over the range so get the chassis number to a
dealer to make sure you have the correct ones.

Thanks for the extra feed back. It sounds like you're going through the
exact same things I have been through with mine.

IIRC The cold start might receive power from the starter solenoid. So check
the wiring to there and also check to see that it does get power to that
wire wihle the starter is operating.
I am not sure where it grounds out if not through a thermostatic switch.

later,

It doesn't. but the cold start/ idle stabilisation circuit on older models
relies on several thermostatic inputs on later models I am sure that a
central control; cpu does it all and that should mean to uoi an dme scrap
yard find one.

Default Audi 100 5cyl cold start problem

I promise if I can with help set up a page on the internet to give this
information for free with a scanned image of the Hayenes manual with all
rights reserved to all authourity in respect of the fact that the Audi
company made this car and place the test schedules for this car online
inrespect of the fuel problems etc. I think that any car that is 12 years
old should havr all aspects of thier design "liberated" for the benefit of
us that want them to be. IF a CAR has a 6 year lifespan or guarantee the
desiign should be free to anyone that wants to fix it. Lets make **** to
last. ANyway I #ve had a drink. I love my car and don't have a curent
girlfriend to prove it.

AUDI 100 CD AUTO 2226cc shagged bx no information I love this car and I will
not let her die
