Strange idle problem - Audi 100 2.2 1985

Hey group

Well, having sorted the coolant leak problem (see earlier posts) by way of a
new water pump there's another strange thing, although it's not a major
problem; the car starts from cold and idles with absoulutely no problem at
all. Next thing, if we turn the motor off and the restart after a short
while then it won't idle at all - dies every time; other than this, the
engine runs perfectly....

There's no sign of a misfire and the engine sounds as good as any 5-cyl Audi
I've ever heard.

Any ideas?

Chris,
Sounds like the ol' 5 cylinder hot start problem rearing it's ugly head.
There are a number of checks you can do - vacuum leaks/fuel delivery/spark -
they can be found at:

Is that like a picture that's gone all sweaty?

If you want to post a picture, put in on your website and post a link to it.

Nice job. I couldn't figure out what he was talking about.

You can post pictures he
http://www.theimagehosting.com/
I like it because you don't have to sign up or anything. You just hit the
browse button and find your picture on your hard drive. Then they give you a
link can use. It's as simple as using tinyurl.com. Once the pic is uploaded
you have no control over it. Probably not good for personal stuff, but it's
great for getting a pic up for the newsgroups.
