I'm still having trouble getting my Audi 100 (1988, UK, 2.0 5 cyl RT eng., K-Jetronic) to run reliably. And getting a bit fed up with it now! I originally described the problem as 'only runs when cold'. But further testing suggests 'packs up when warm' would be more accurate as it is very difficult to start from cold on the next attempt. Once started, it runs fine for about 15 mins, then the revs drop to about 100rpm for a few seconds before stopping. Generally you can not restart it. It's done this 6 times out of 7. I have tested the ignition system and everything checks out ok - I always get a spark. Cold start valve works fine. ISV responds to voltages. Removing the dipstick almost stalls it. Bypassing the fuel pump relay makes no difference. The fuel filter has done 7000 miles, and the pump has done 70,000 and runs quietly. When I can't get it to start, the plugs are dry so this suggests the fuel system is not working or something is telling it to shut off the fuel. What could it be?
I've read about the tank coating peeling issue - is this sufficient to stall a car? Apparently a solution is to cut the fuel pump screen. Is there a screen on both old and new type pumps - I can't see a screen on pictures of the old style pump
Thanks for any help. Gary
