2006 Audi A6 3.2 Liter Runs Rough and pops, misses for 30 to 45 seconds, only with cold start up

Originally vehicle had a CEL on, found a broken plastic vacuum line to the intake manifold by cylinder head on bank two. There was a related TSB to the issue. Replaced broken line and cleared faults, set readiness car ran fine. Two weeks later customer returns with a rough running, missing/popping issue only at cold start up for about 30-45 seconds, won't take throttle properly. Than car runs fine, does not miss re-starts fine. I have replaced the spark plugs, the low pressure fuel switch, removed the upper intake manifold checked for other broken vac. lines were o.k., checked operation of manifold flap diaphragms(o.k.) cleaned intake valves of carbon, cleaned the throttle body, performed a capacity discharge on the battery, ran throttle adaption and fuel pressure adaption. Car shows evidence of running rich old plugs were black with soot. Don't think it is a lifter issue(not pumping up) as per TSB. Issue remains, I use the VCDS scan tool by Ross-Tech for my info. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris

check your Temp sensor for the ecu. could be out of spec at lower temps but not enough to send a code "You know -40 is possible and won't send a code"

SOURCE: engine idles rough, misses at 2500-3000 rpm's

i would first check the timing and if that does not fit i would take the cover back off and look at the belt for a bad or missing tooth

SOURCE: 1995 Toyota camry Le 4C Missing Problem -

i have came across simler problems in the past so im going to give you a list of four main suspects number 1; a broken or pereshed vacuum hose at the trottle body or inlet manifold.2 a blocked injector 3 a fuel injection system fault 4 a disconnected /leaking or perished crankcase ventilation hose.Before you try any of these by a can of fuel cleaner and run it through your system remember a small piece of dirt half the size of grain of salt is enough to cause this problem good luck.adrian

Bad EGR valve comes to mind here. Assuming the plugs are good, the EGR valve woiuld be what I'd look at.

99 b-4000. cel lean. o2/mass ok? miss fires driving or idel. cold before warming runs rough/stall/tries to stall. no vacuum leaks.with compressor running heat/ cold would here high pitch/ reving...

If you can find the PCV valve and it's associated plumbing, I promise that you'll find one of the rubber elbows that connects it to the intake manifold has rotted out and is leaking vacuum. This is a very common problem.

Rough engine on cold start. CEL blinked, now on all the time.

Take it to a different autoparts store and bring pen and paper. Write down codes. You can use search on browser and key in "Mercury code xxx" xxx means whatever number you are told by autoparts. Internet explorer will pull up code. Chances are the second autoparts store may be more knowledgable.

Your cold start circuit is not working and your friend may be right about coolant sensor. Also, the reader Advance used will not reprogram your car. It only reads problem so you have to change physical parts yourself.

Good Luck Joe
