Strange idle problem - Audi 100 2.2 1985
Hey group
Well, having sorted the coolant leak problem (see earlier posts) by way of a
new water pump there's another strange thing, although it's not a major
problem; the car starts from cold and idles with absoulutely no problem at
all. Next thing, if we turn the motor off and the restart after a short
while then it won't idle at all - dies every time; other than this, the
engine runs perfectly....
There's no sign of a misfire and the engine sounds as good as any 5-cyl Audi
I've ever heard.
Any ideas?

Chris,
Sounds like the ol' 5 cylinder hot start problem rearing it's ugly head.
There are a number of checks you can do - vacuum leaks/fuel delivery/spark -
they can be found at:
