I don't always like it (hell with Audi for putting 6 8mm triple-square bolts on a flange to hold a CV shaft in...) but it'll do for now.

if thats the worst problem you have working on an audi, you are in way better shape than i am. we had so many electrical problems with my buddies audi that we just got rid of it

Oh he's playing sensor whack-a-mole with it too, but that was the only thing he didn't feel comfortable doing himself, so he farmed it out to me to handle while he was on a trip to NYC for work.

Funny thing is, he found out that it wasn't a sensor issue, it was that the middle two spark plugs (1.8T motor) were finger loose and had been blowing exhaust by the threads since forever. Put 4 new COP modules and plugs in it and it hasn't thrown a misfire code since then... yet...
 
I will not work on a modern VW/Audi.

never again will one ever pull into my garage.

I'd like to find the guy that designed the b6 chassis and kick him in the nads, repeatedly.
 
I got paid 250 bucks to plug a tire, put front rotors/pads on, and install a CV shaft, otherwise I wouldn't have come anywhere near it.

Folks,

This is why I keep a spare fuel injector in the toolbox in the Jeep. Apparently #6 injector likes to stay open once the engine bay temp went above a certain temperature and didn't always close when you shut it off... I guess that's something I should have caught, but never thought of it...

Thats what I made of the voicemail, I'' have a better story tonight after I pick up the pile...

That's a tough one to diagnose. A heat related issue with a fuel injector sticking open. First I've heard of that one. Usually heat creates an open in the coil of the injector.

ahhhh, I was thinking it was something like that. I think that Kman was well versed in the canuter valve assembly after we got him lined out on that truck he was looking at a while back :D

If it was on an 83 XJ it was probably next to the sludge rectifier desludger derectifier.

Canueter valves are a pita to find and are EXPENSIVE! :flipoff2:

Get to the stealership

Jeep still runs like shit. The replaced a fuel injector and the CPS and thought it was running ood, until it warms up. I said %%%% it, paid and brought it home. Went back out to tinker and it doesn't want to start unless you crank on it... Just liek the beginning.

Anyone want to make me an offer? I'm done.

How about you check the fuel pressure. Then check to see if its holding pressure. Then you clould pull the vac hose off the pressure reg and see if its dumpin fuel out of it. Then you could pull the plugs and look at them to figure out if you have a rich running cylinder or a lean one. Then you could check backpressure to see if the cats plugged up. A plugged cat will not always show on a scan tool reading O2s.
You could also check engine vac. Good running engine runs 18 Inches of merc or so. If then needle bounces rappidly you clould have a valve stickin open. If its low and steady timingchain could be loose.
Basic mechanics man.
Always go to the basics. I Have a problem with overthinking stuff and its usually something simple.

Since you said you had an exhaust maniflold gasket pushed out by the collector you very well could have a plugged convertor that shoved the gasket out.

I checked all of this and the dealer did as well, twice, once yesterday and again today after they replaced the sensors and it was still not running right. Compression tests, fuel pressure and flow tests, they noided the injectors (how they found the bad one), everything. Even pulled the starter to make sure all the teeth were on the flywheel.

Clearing the air here, the basics have been covered. They were covered before it got to the dealer, and they were covered twice at the dealer.
