[s-cars] Going insane... UrS4 falling on it's face at WOT

[Darin Nederhoff]

It gets better. I'm now broken down in Faribault, mn with a car that
cuts out when I give it any gas at all. Codes 2223, 2413, and 2342.
Lately I hate my car.

If I hold the pedal down, the car bucks like crazy between full power and fully cut off.  Once I cause this situation, the engine cutoff occurs at 5 PSI until I do an engine shutdown and restart.  Then the cutoff point goes back to 15 PSI.    I've improved the situation some by fixing a loose hose on the moisture trap under the plastic cover by the firewall.    I'm getting a code 2413 "mixture adjustment".  The MIL light isn't on, which the Bentley says it is with a 2413 code.

Other suggestions appreciated.   The Bently lists a lot of possible causes for the 2413 code  Is there any particular thing that's usually behind it?
