2004 Audi A4 Ultrasport

:frowning:

So the car has been in my barn since purchase and the battery went dead (understandable). I moved it the other day and the right rear brake blew. I am not sure if it is just a line or what. So today I tried starting it and it won’t run for more than about one second.

Does anyone have any ideas why it would start but then stall? If I rev it, the rpm climb but then it stalls after a second. No CEL… believe it or not.

???

$500

I would wager the fact that it is

A). 13 years old

B). an Audi

has something to do with it.

Thanks for the advice, I will start with the fuel pump.

large Vacuum Leak, if it runs at all i doubt its the pump. you could try unpluging the maf and see if it will run open loop that will cause a CEL though.

if you have Vag-com you should also do a throttle body adaptation.

wtf??? Did it get attacked by mice.

Possibly. I am going to dig into it tonight a bit.

$501

Will pick up

Sounds airflow related. Check the filter box for mouse home

No mice.
After poking around under the hood looking for leaks etc, I was reminded why I don’t work on cars.

Of the 16 Audis I have owned, this is the very first time I have had one that will not drive. Sure I have had plenty of repairs but they have ALWAYS been driveable. I can’t even move the fucking thing in my driveway. :frowning:

Sounds immobilizer / key fob related. If you have a different key, try that. Make sure the batteries in the key are good then try a key adaptation:

You da man Matt Danger! I used the valet key and she fired right up (with a jump.) The car is doing some funky electrical stuff, I am hoping it is just from the low voltage.

:bigtup:

Gotta have good voltage or they get real cranky…
