english Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 My car keeps shutting off when I stop. It makes a crashing noise before but if I press the gas pedal then it wont shut off its as if no petrol is in the car and the engine seems like its going to drop out can anyone help. The RPM needle keeps going up and down as well is it time for me to depart with my beloved A3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 The throttle body or idle stabilisation valve is the right place to start; clean it or them out with some carb cleaner and make sure you do a good job of it and don't leave any lint from the rag you use; this is a common problem on Audi's from A3's to A8's and is well documented on this forum Do a search on the word 'stalling' the MAF sensor is the 2nd probabilty but you need to pull some codes with VAgcom to be more accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
