Default Quick Help!

The car decided not to start... It's a 96 A4.
Under the mileage it shows "In 2" Like it's stuck in 2nd. Maby a sensor? Idkn? Of coarse the car won't start when it thinks it's in 2nd. I know it's not the transmition actually stuck in 2nd because I drove it down the interstate yesterday doing 90 with no high revs. Any idea?

Default ln2 has nothing to do with your problem. That is just a

service interval reminder. See your owners manual for a full explanation.

getting your car to start comes down to 4 things: fire, air, fuel, and a way for the exhaust to escape (no blockages in the exhaust system).

you can do a number of simple tests to check each of these...or you can have the DTCs read and your car will probably tell you exactly what's wrong with it.
