     I've luckily never had this problem on mine, but a
     fellow (former now) V8Q owner had the same symptoms,
     turned out to be the engine speed sensor was bad.
     Pulled the codes several times and never got a fault
     code on this defect. We blindly ordered the speed sensor
     and the reference mark sensor, the dealer only had the
     speed sensor in stock, we changed that and it
     resolved the problem.
