[s-cars] weird windows

Hey All,
New to the list and a new s-car owner, although I have been around a few. I
am a member of the w-t audifans chapter and am part of the sos-cars list.
Now onto the problems... I recently picked up a 1993 s4, for those who are
interested it is black on ecru with eibachs/konis samcos and a chip or at
least something that makes it pull harder than it should... I have two
issues.
1) The power windows. The driver window works perfectly, but when any of the
other windows are rolled up the remaining two roll down slowly. For example
if you are rolling up the pass window the two rears roll down slowly but
only as the pass window reaches the top. If you are rolling up a rear window
the other rear and the pass roll down but again on as it reaches the top. It
does not matter which switch you use the drivers control or the individual
door switches result in the same behaviour. Looking at the Bentley which I
had to borrow from my dad (a fellow s-car owner) I discovered that the 3
pass windows all use the same grnd (I believe it was 32 but my memory is
failing me here) which eventually terminates "behind instrument panel left".
Anyone shed any light here?? Is this the kick panel grnds or somewhere
else?? Am I on the right track?? I have some experience and to me it sounds
like a grnd issue but I could be wrong...
2) Misfire under boost. My dads car and my own s4 both have this. Mine is
much worse however. Runs fine at idle runs fine at revs only misses under
high load high boost conditions. Anyone figure out a good way to check these
coils other than swapping out assemblies. I tested my dads with an adjutable
gap spark tester and replaced the worst ones and his has been better for a
while but seems to be worsening again. Thoughts?? P.S. I swapped out the
P.O.S.s first on my fathers car...
