Quantum Syncro (Audi 4000Q) running poorly

[Huw Powell]

> Symptoms: During a cold start, the engine is hard to start, then when it starts it will idle perfectly, if you touch the accelerator pedal, no matter how slightly, the engine dies. So when I start it cold, I have to let it idle until it warms up a bit and then I can use the accelerator. Then when it is warm and running, there is a serious lack of power, I find myself pushing much harder on the accelerator than normal. I am thinking maybe a vacuum leak but I don't hear any leaks and can't think of anything else that could be the problem. If anyone has any ideas of what the problem might be, or how to fix it, please let me know.

um, :-), how about just checking "everything"... tune up items, cat
condition, timing, cam timing (relative to crank), etc etc...
