[s-cars] It's all about the seats.

True a CPS will only give a no start.
Some of the replacement ignition switches won't last more than a couple of years. Mine didn't fail in this manner, but I've been through 3 in 6 years, and they were dealer parts. I think Audi promoted "team doorhandle" from the Coupe days of the eighties to "team ignition switch" in the nineties.
A dirty bypass valve can cause stumbling and stalling when returning to idle, and worth a cleaning if not done recently. 
I'm little late to this thread. You said it doesn't blink any codes right?
Intermittent electrical issues are the bane of auto ownership!!
Good luck and keep posting fixes and results.

T
 put in a new oem ignition switch 3 yrs. ago.  What other ground points are 
here to check besides that for ignition coils?
upposedly a bad cps would not effect a running motor ?  It would cause a no 
tart I believe.
he did say it died or stumbled badly coming out of the driveway recently.

 The other stuff you mentioned wouldn't cause total outage other than possibly 
 bad cam position sensor killing the engine., but you didn't say anything about 
he car dying.

he is sort of afraid to drive it.  No, she is afraid to drive it.  I told her
