        http://www.audifans.com/archives/1997/11/msg00742.html

        But  again does not work.......

        Need urgent help, its my dailly car and seems to getting worst...... losing power, hard starting.

        Engine cold: need to start 6-10 time before then engine can maintain 200 RPM (very rough idling... then 1000RPM with gard accelerating)
        Engine cold: need to pump the accelerator very fast for about 1/2 inchs depht only,,, until it reach 300RPm then go to 1000 RPM, if i dont do it it ll not start and then it s impossible to start again, the engine wont do any pouffff anymore, i must wait 5 minutes and try again......and often i wont start neither . I need to inject ether or alcool in the intake to make it start again. It faster and easier that way.

            I tried to get fault code but something i dont do or missunderstand procedure (in english) cause i cant get any engine light blink or not......

            I look at Bentley book for 5000TQ , even i have a 100Q 89, to see something i can diagnostique.

            The problems listed for my car is:

            7; Diminished or insufficient power
            1:Engine start poorly when cold
            2:Engine start poorly when hot
            3: Rough idle during warmup
            4: Rough idle when engine is warm
            .
            .
            .
            The thing that bind all those problemes issssss    differential pressure ouside tolerance, gray module....

            When i move the fuel distr the engine wants stall..... then i put it back and the engine wants to run again... 

            I checked for leak with Ether..... the engine accelerated when i shoot ether close to the intake manifold...... i removed it and reseealed it,,,, now no leak there and i did not saw any other leaks.


            Analogy: Mmmmm go to see a doctor and tell him i have all sympthomes in your book doc....... do you think he ll believe me ? hehehe

            The fault code procedure is: (what i have undrestood)
            turn the key on, plug a fuse on the fuel pump relay for 4 secondes , then i can see the engine light flshing to show me the code..... this computer should speak to me :-) and tell me whats wrong hehe.

            It might tell me '' the problem is located 18inchs beside the steering ''   :-O.
