>>Hi Y'all,
>>
>>Well, I'm totally bumfozzled.
>>
>>A few months ago my '95.5 S6 (RS2ed) was suffering (no make that "I 
>>was suffering") a frequent engine cut-out.  I'd drive along at more 
>>or less constant throttle setting and the engine would just buck as 
>>if the ignition were turned off and then back on quickly.  At that 
>>time I got a lot of really good suggestions from several listers and 
>>I really appreciated the suggestions.  The cut-out grew progressively 
>>"worser and worser".  The cut-out became more and more frequent and 
>>lasted longer and longer before the engine would again 
>>restart.  Finally, when the day came that the engine simply would not 
>>fire, I loaded the bitch onto a flatbed and had her taken to my local 
>>stealer.  The old-time certified wrench there spent three weeks 
>>determining that he could not find the problem.  :-(  The car started 
>>and ran perfectly for him.  He did find that it did cut out on him 
>>once and he found that the injectors were not providing fuel at that 
>>time.  Following that incident it never again misbehaved.  I finally 
>>brought the car home and it ran perfectly for me for several 300+ 
>>mile trips over several weeks.  Yesterday it started misbehaving 
>>again.  I'm beside myself.  It's enough to make me start 
>>reconsidering Audis.  Hmmm...  Evo?  WRX?
>>
>>Items checked (from memory so I may be omitting something):
>>
>>No codes stored
>>ECU and chips (swapped with known good - no change)
>>Ignition system (swapped 1.8t conversion w/ OEM - no change)
>>Fuel pump (replaced twice - first replacement was also defective)
>>FPR (replaced)
>>Fuel filter (replaced)
>>Spark plugs (replaced)
>>Ignition switch (replaced)
>>CPS (replaced)
>>WGFV (replaced)
>>BPV (replaced)
>>Exhaust system (blocked kitty - system is now Stromung w/ test pipe)
>>Engine speed sensor (swapped between cars - no help)
>>Probably a dozen other items checked/replaced early on and not listed 
>>here from the effects of advancing Alzheimer's.  :-(
>>
>>Suggestions?  At this point an "accidental" fuel spell and a spark is 
>>beginning to have some appeal.  ;-)
