S4 throttle delay

I think that pulling the codes is the place to start ... at an independent shop.

I drove a friend's '04 S4 6spd in an Audi track day and do not remember that happening. What I do remember is very quick response.

The dealer's tech sounds like he is good as BS> Hi guys,

Pete,

Have you tried resetting the drive-by-wire (DBW) memory? Turn the key on (do not start the car) and hold the gas pedal down for 15 seconds. See if that changes anything for you. Another thing you might want to check is the air filter pre-screen (in the air intake snorkel between the top of the air box and the inlet that's screwed into the grill area). That little bugger gets all clogged with debris and if you don't clean it out, it could easily impede air flow into the air box.

Hi Charlie, I tried both of your suggestions to no avail. Thanks for the help though. Pete

I think that's the plan at this point. And you're right about the tech being good at BSing, and I knew it at the time. I just didn't know what else to say. Thanks for your help. Pete

I think it should be the following;

1. Turn key on (don't start)
2. Press pedal to the floor and wait 15 seconds
3. With the pedal to the floor turn key off
4. Release pedal and wait 2 minutes for memory to be reset

The problen I have with the throttle, on the same car, is that it sustains throttle when I take my foot "off" will the above help me?

Give it a try. Can't hurt none.
