Figured i'd try and get some life in this forum.... i know there are a bunch of us out thereSo i'll back track to the day i picked up the car
Friday - Picked up my 86 5K CDQ
Saturday - Get car appraised for Minestry...Get on road with Temp permit ! Coolant return from turbo blows apart @ the frost plug on the way home !!! Repaired. Filled system . All good !
Sunday and Monday - Enjoy Cruising around town in my Car. Rear Brakes making alot of noise and not braking well... Need to replace
Today ( Tuesday ) - Put in Order for B&G Lowering Springs ! Replaced rear pads and rotors, wash car. Step on brakes... pedal hits floor.

Fixed my Brake line.
#4
Trying to Figure out Stumble now... May be ISV related as it take a while to switch back to Idle... or Boost leak ?
#5
Check for vac/boost leaks also change the spark plugs NGK BP6ET
#6
Swapped in a New ISV. Fixed the Idle Hang up.
I shouldn't have said stumble... it's more of a hesitation going into boost or while in boostEdit: So i was going to pick up my girlfriend from work when it dawned on me.... I can rev it like crazy in neutral and no bogging... but as soon as there is a good amount of load being put on the engine it tends to bog or hesitate... I'm thinking the Cat is Plugged.

Started smelling a gas leak a few days now.. could not find what it was.. until today I looked around again and found it.. its from the tank and leaking on the exhaust
#8
Placed order for 2.0+bar chip and socket !!Gutted Catalytic Converter.... still waiting to Road test to see if it is the cause of my hesitation.
Edit: Still is hesitating ... But not a total loss ! Back to drawing boardRemoved A/C Compressor
Swiss Cheesed Air Box.

Got a cut in the tire.. and losing air fast.. Hopefully I can fill it up and make it to work... and back
On the plus side replaced a broken exhaust hanger
And spent a bit of time trying to figure out why the horn is not working :S
#10
Swapped in a WUR this morning. Hoping maybe it was the cause of hesitation.... but sadly no. On the other hand... It did fix my cold start issue lol.Next Step... Spark Plugs
#11
My Springs showed up a week early !!

Got 2 flat tires in some puddle. I went to make the turn and in an puddle something cut my 2 tires side walls out :S So my audi got 2 new tires. And all 4 tires reblanced. Fixed the blue wire to the altenator. Also topped it up with oil to max line. (I think I did not have it up there after my oil change). Toke apart my center console cuz my freind made my asstray sink into the shifter area. Donno how but its possible if u got a 5000s. Oh and toke pics of my audi
Will this ever end? This is what happens when u have a car for like 4 or 5 years. Have it parked for most of it. And u get it from some one who had it parked for like 6 years or so.
#13
Swapped in New Plugs. Still hesitates . Got some injector cleaner today and put it in. hopefully it helpsAlso got my hands on a 10v NA head. gonna start tearing it down and pricing out parts.
#14
Posted mine yesterday in hopes of I can sell it with out having to fix the gas tank
#15
.....$6 Bottle of Fuel System Cleaner fixed the hesitation... SWEEEEEET !!!!
#16
Hmmm sweet, I didn't see this thread until you posted in the pics thread.Today I drove the audi to the gym and back...and on the way there AND on the way back, AND another time I took it in this empty lot with like foot deep really soft sand and had a blast using my quattro lol
car has big backfire sometimes while getting into boost. It needs more timing in the map. Tune to come soon.
#17
Installed Momo Race WHeel and Hub toda that i had kicking around the ship. Drove it around with a big smile now that it has it's power back... just awaiting my chip.....
#19
WOAH. Very nice !!
#20
damn, thats gangster
Let see...today I drove it. No backfires. I thought I had one due to not enough timing in the map. Now I've been told that wont cause a backfire or pop.Going to add 3 more degrees of timing into the map tomorrow.
#21
What are you using for ECU ? Or you testing programs for chips ?
#22
using VEMSI would love to be doing chips. I have access to everything, but I need a decoder I guess.
**and stock dizzy's suck** otherwise I'd still be on stock ignition
#23
Hmm.... What all do you have access too ? My friend who installed my chips has been bugging me to find him Info on the chip .. he tells me he could write a program on it if he knew more about it. He is a programmer/engineer maybe we all can figure this out
Put in a New Fuel filter today... still hesitates but it is running alot better in general.
I think my hesitation is a huge air leak... my idle likes to climb up randomly.. somtimes it hangs up ...and it only really happens in 3rd,4th and 5th... under load... i'm racking my braing trying to figure this out.. everything i have done so far has made improvements but still have the same initial problem... and it is almost identical symptom to the when i blew IC - Tbody hoses on my old 5000...
#24
I have access to EVERYTHING other than whatever you use to decode the Motronic stuff. It would be great to be able to chip tune these cars easily. The only problem to overcome then is spark hop. The dizzy's we use on the 3b cars are such **** I wouldn't trust one over ~300whp. If there was a solution for that, the sky would be the limit for stock ECU tuning on these cars. That is absolutely the best way to go.

Yeah i guess running Coil per plug won't work with the stock Triggering system... i plan on Running 034 EFI on my 5000 in the near future anyway. So i'll be ditching the Distributor for individual coils per plugAlso talked to Previous Owner ( My shop foreman who is the guy who owns the White 200 20v i posted in the Pic thread ) About the hesitation. As he knew it was going on prior to being sold and said he would help to figure it out.
Now looking at Fuel Pump/Check Valve ( PLEASE BE THE CHECK VALVE !!! ) which could be causing my issue. Going to do fuel pressure and leak down tests tomorrow. Already ordered check valve. Gonna put a fair amount of gas in it tonight with more fuel system cleaner to see if it helps out.. find it happens a lot when the tank @ a 1/4 or less.. plus i pulled the After run injector cooling fan .. so bad check valve + Vapourized fuel in lines could be causing quantity or delivery issues .

Replaced my cat.. and it fixed my idle.. But I still have a weird misfiring sometimes?!?!?!?
#27
Stock trigger system is fine for triggering 5 coils on a standalone...not on stock ecu though of course.I ordered some new tri-tip copper plugs today to see if that clears up my misfire/sloppy power.
If that doesnt fix it, then it almost HAS to be something in the ecu (i doubt it). I have 5 brand new coils, 5 brand new plug wires, and thats all that there is to the ign system.
The car currently has some random copper single electrode plugs (they are new tho)
#28
worked on my firefire today.. was unsuccessful. And a few days ago I got my gas tank repairedgod that misfire is bugging me... any help guys?
#29
Put the tri electrode plugs in today and damn she rips!Also fixed a minor boost leak.
Took some logs of my misfire issue, and then it went away strangely...still trying to figure out why Megatune hates my computer
also took some pics from my cellphone...posted in the pic thread
#30
Took arrival of a 1987 AUdi 5000 NA five cylinder engine ( code : 1T ) ... purely for use of the cylinder head
#31
Replaced my rad... only with a used one.. but hey.. it does not leakWith some nice new coolant
#32
Oh forgot to say last time I also changed my oilToday... I tried to open one of my rear doors and my door handle broke
Hopefully this will happen soon..
I looked into junk yards in hungary so I can find some e-code headlights from an audi 200
Also wanting to replace my OLD OLD OLD fuel filter.. Only god knows how old that is... I know its way older than 4 years old.
#33
Still sorting out hesitation issue
BUT
My chip arrived today !!
#34
hey ktownboostn... can i get a chip for my car? I mean do they offer it for the audi 5000s quattro?
#35
Its been a productive day for me.Put all the stock ECU stuff back on. (I think the fact that I got everything right the first time [firing order on dizzy correct, crank trigger wires in right configuration, O2 swapped out, MAF plugged in, stock ecu hooked up, etc] means that I've done it one too many times.)
Got an alignment this morning (was like .65 degrees off on both fronts), and the car feels much better now, and I have peace of mind about my new tires not going bad early.
Also picked up some Royal Purple and a Mann filter along with a low side R12 to R134 a/c fitting.
I tried to fill with R134 to no avail. I had the low pressure switch jumped in order to have the comp spinning while trying to fill it, but it didn't seem like it was taking it. I think maybe the fitting I have didn't seat right or something. Darnnn
Oh well, A/C is a luxury.
At least the rest of the car is solid enough for me to feel comfortable driving it for 4 hours 2x this week.
