Default Stalling Engine

On three occasions the engine in my '02 A4 Multitronic has stalled (while moving--slowly). Each time, the battery and ESP lights come on. The car has trouble starting too. Sometimes, I have to floor the gas pedal to get it started. Even then is spits and sputters until I get gonig. 93 Octane is the only gas I use. The dealer changed the ignition coils and cleaned the air-prefilter. The car ran fine for a month or so, then it stalled again. The car is currently at the dealership. They can't seem to find the problem. Does anyone have any ideas? This is really souring my opinion of Audi.

Default Try switching fuel brands, and add a bottle of fuel cleaner like Techron...(m)

Also, just a heads up, you are in the 1st generation A4 (B5 platform) forum. Look at the top of the forum for the drop down menu, then click on A4 (B6 platform) forum.
