Ok well I finally broke down to do my O2 sensor well the car ran great 
for a day.... the previous O2 sensor was spliced in so I just cut it 
there and spliced in the new one failing to understand that the previous 
person who did it left too much slack... For some reason it was stuck 
and tucked and I guess I did not see it... It ripped the O2 sensor wire 
in half on the drive shaft left the wires completely intact only ripped 
it apart at my splice. Now the weird part... the wire is undamaged nor 
is it ripped away from the clips that hold it in place... its floating 
like a phantom crazy wire with a inch to spare around the drive shaft in 
the front... It did not rip the CV Joint Boot... It just decided it 
would be fun to rip the wire apart at the splices then float itself 
around the drive shaft!

Audi's are strange phantom devices that do weird stuff.

Pictures to follow of this madness later I will show what it looks like 
with the phantom floating wire.
