SOURCE: Audi 80e 1991 hard starting when cold

I've owned the same car. Check that the fuel relay 'primes' the system before you start the car. When you turn the key to the on position (all you dash lights, ready to start) you should hear the fuel pump run for a second or two. If it doesn't run you can replace the relay for about $30. If the relay is not the problem, it may be a check valve within the fuel line to the engine. This valve keeps fuel from draining back to the tank when the car is sitting. That way, there is fuel close to the motor when it's time to start. The temp senor was not a bad shot, they were thinking it was bad sensor not telling the cold start injector to run. Obviously not the case. However, the injector itself may be faulty in some way. As long as the car always starts, it's one of these problems, assuming the ignition system and engine mechanicals are in running order.  good luck. JK

Need to check for fault codes. Possibly a faulty sensor causing the fuel system to run rich or lean.

SOURCE: VW Jetta starts, then turns off immediately

try checking the throttle position sensor or the idle control valve both can keep it from running.

1992 pontiac bonniville dies & wont start , sets a while then starts like normal. doesnt matter cold or hot

When it doesn't start check for fuel pressure, spark and injector pulse. If you got access to a scanner that could read live data check if you get an RPM reference. Check and report your findings.

SAme as the person above, at random the right hand side vents start blowing hot air (VERY HOT) irrespective of the temp setting. this lasts for about 5 minutes and then ti returns to normal function

This is a known fault with new shape A6's. The heater control valve (located within the bulkhead within the engine compartment) sticks thus causing hot air to vent out of one side whilst the other side stays cold. Audi have issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) regarding this problem and if your car is within its warranty period they will repair free of charge - if not you are looking at a cost of £250 for a new valve. In true Audi honoured tradition they don't admit to the problem being a design fault despite new valves being modified to prevent it happening in future!! A temporary solution is to turn the climate control dial to max (Hi) then to min (Lo) which should free the valve off until it sticks again. Details and a picture of the valve can be found on the audiworld forum

Car runs for 5 mins ,stalls,sometimes starts and sometime stalls

try checking the coil igniter, if this is faulty and it gets hot it will really make your car die but when its cold it will make your car run again.
