Stott Hare gets the "genius of the week" award and a 6 pack
of microbrew or mountain dew, your choice. Plus my
thanks of course.
The problem with my car sputtering and having NO power was
the connection to the DPR (differential pressure regulator)
on the fuel head. I actually checked the connection earlier
tonight, but removing the connector and reinstalling it made
no difference. It was not until after I had replaced the coil,
coil wire, fuel filter, that I was checking the FI grounds and
happened to bump the dpr connector with my hand. Aha.
I removed the connector and noticed the corrosion, plus the
plastic itself is cracked, so it doesn't have a tight fit.
I cleaned up the contacts and plugged it back in - wow, what
a difference. The car screams. It's almost like driving that
200tqw last week. Well, almost :)
To bed now so I can get up in 5 hours to drop the car off at the
audi guru's to replace the center diff lock cable and maybe get
an alignment.
Oh - if you remove your tranny mounts, I gues you should use loctite
as all 3 of the bolts on my left side mount are now gone. Sheesh.
