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 : ) |

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: http://www.humanspeakers.com/audi/tuning-cise.htm Cheers!

The message >

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. --Art |
