Default Stalling A4

Has anyone ever had a problem with there A4 stalling? If the car is in motion and I'm gasing it, everything is cool. If I release the gas, come to a stop or hold down the clutch, the car just dies. Initially I thought it was because I needed a tune-up but, it's still does the same thing.

..year, model, engine info might help. They made B5's from 94 thru 2001 (96 thru 2001 in NA) in several different configurations.

Default Idle control valve..

Most common problem on 12V. You can replace the valve for about $150 or clean it which works most of the time. Kris Hansen has a Web site with a cleaning procedure. Make sure you really clean it (use gumout) let the mechanical parts soak for an hour or so. Also try to replace your vacuum hoses as they are probably leaking by now.<ul><li><a href="http://www.kris-hansen.com/Audi/">Kris's web site</a></li></ul>

Default Yep ICV, same thing happened to me. Exact same symptoms too.

I ordered mine from ECS for about $190. Kris Hansens page helps tremendously
