    Car is being a turd

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I leave the house to go to the store. I make it 3 blocks, come to the stop sign and stop. Leave the stop sign, get through first and second gear, shift to third and the car bogs down and dies. Now it won't start for the life of me.


    I've checked all the fuses in the dash panel on the drivers side that would relate to this, and they're fine. And I'm not sure what the problem would be.

    Any help would be great, since I'm totally clueless right now.

    (2000 A4 1.8T ATW 5spd, no engine mods)

    [Has spark for sure, and has fuel but unsure of the pressure)

    -edit : all coil packs are fine, plugs are fine as well. Fuel pressure is good. Don't know what the problem is. Turns over, but doesn't fire. :(

    Just checked things out with a simple little obdII handheld and there's no trouble codes of any kind.

    So confused. Anybody have any ideas of what I should at least look for?

    Im fairly certain 2000s didn't have an ICM, much like a 2001 doesn't. New style coilpacks are a bit different.
