Hi all, Im writing from the UK.

Last week my 97 2.8 A8 (yes thats the european one) stalled in traffic while idling.

RAC (or triple A to you guys) diagnosed a failed fuel pump.

The car was towed to my trusted mechanic who also diagnosed a failed fuel pump after checking relays etc.

The car sat over the weekend while this new part arrived http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Brand-New-Audi...4#ht_553wt_941

It was fitted and ran fine for 30 minutes . then it stalled and could not be restarted. The fuel pump assembly was re checked. Plenty of pressure at the rail.

Pulled this code --17967 - Throttle Valve Control part (J338): Fault in basic settings

and performed numerous TBA's .

The code will not clear and the car will still not start!!!

Im just about to have him strip the throttle body and maybe replace the ICV.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks for your help.

Try putting some more fuel in the tank.

If the pump was misinstalled, an easy thing to do, it will run out of fuel after consuming something like seven gallons out of a full tank.

Already checked it. Fuel Pressure at the injector rail seems fine.
Still scratching our heads... thanks for the reply mate.
