<< Fellow Audi Fans,
 
 	Help.  I was driving back from a camping trip and my coupe had been running
fine except 12 miles per gallon.  It was 104 degrees and the car didn't have
any heat problem even climbing the worst hill in Utah (parleys summit)  When I
got to the city and started to slow down the car started to shake and I lost a
lot of power.  The engine vibrates quite a bit especially when revved.Any
ideas as to what the problem might be?  I jus spent $110 on a tune-up, (air
filter fuel filter sparkplugs, adjustment etc.  I think maybe the problem is
the spark plug wires, althuogh they look fairly new.
 
 Any help would be greatly appreciated

Any soot coming out from the exhaust?  Do you have to step on the gas to keep
her running?  Check spark plugs.  Should be light brown in color. Maybe one of
the plugs isn't getting spark.

OTOH, you may have an overly rich condition brought upon most likely by stuck
open cold start injector (12 mpg?-sheesh).  Cold start injector is attached to
intake plenum  before throttle body (if I remember correctly).
