Intermitent start problem in 1990 V8 Quattro
I have a 1990 V8 Quattro that has an intermitent start problem. Every couple
of weeks, it just won't fire. I have noticed that it often happens when I am
low (< 1/2 tank) of gas- although today it did it on a full tank. It has
happened in the rain & in dry weather. Cold starts as well as warm starts.
Sometimes when it won't start, I will wait a period of time (anywhere from
minutes to hours) & retry & it will fire up.
When it is running it runs fines. Idles fine. Excellerates fine.
I haven't noticed any noises coming from the fuel pump (experienced a bad fuel
pump a few years ago, doesn't seem to be the same).
I have had it flatbedded to a few diff garages with experience in Audis, it
starts fine once it gets there!! Very frustrating problem..
Anyone with any advice, please e-mail:
