Subject: Re: Poor running 3B

 Limped over to Anderson Motor Sports on Monday, Chris had a used MAP,  plugged 
it in and all is good again. (gave me a deal on it) Cleared  the codes with his 
reader.  The codes I was getting were injector 3 (new)  and to old recurring 
codes O2 sensor and Idle stabilization valve have not  reoccurred.  Never did 
see a MAP code however.
 
This has always been a great shop, one of the Owners has had a 91 Avant  
forever.
 
Thanks all for the input, all is well in my Audi world (for the  moment)
 
Pete 91 Avant 238k
