RE: 2-4kq's stumbling when cold

[William J Murin <murin@uwp.edu>]

Let a 100 driver stick his nose in here for a bit.

Just got my 89 100q back from the shop.  When I took it in it was idling
rough, stalling at virtually every stop sign, had no power, etc., stumbled
all over itself when cold, and had a flat spot in acceleration around the
5000 rpm mark.

This is an 89 100q with 173,000 miles on it.

Solution--remove and clean all injectors, replace some injectors
seals--mechanic said they were all hard and cracked.

Also reset the CO levels--let a non-Audi wrench fool with it a few months
ago.  He did not have Dr. Bentley but he did follow the prescription in
Mitchells and alldata--engine was way off on CO levels.

It is cured--no more stalling, no more stumbling.  The car is still slower
than grandma on her bicycle but it is almost a pleasure to drive.
