Pull codes, check for boost leaks.

Default '89 models became 100 here like in Europe to ditch the bad rep of the 5k in N.A.

Being a non-turbo I am not that familiar. Pull codes if you can.

WUR? (Warm Up Regulator)

Fuel pressure? Pump issues? Leaky fuel lines?

Check crank ref and RPM sensors.

Have you done a full tune up with plugs/wires/cap/rotor, fuel and air filters? DO IT! Weak spark could be it as well.

Kinda of hard to get a boost leak from a non-turbo car.

Default suspect that fuel injectors may be dirty..........

try adding a cleaner to the fuel tank.

Default ok a small update

ive changed the plugs, plug wieres and the distributor cap.
now the car runs great almost lost my licence
but it still wont idle. when it warm.

hmm you guys told me to pull codes,
are you talking about diagnostics codes?? if so i cant since my audi dont have an diagnostics system.
and if you ment engine code, its an nf engine.
with an catalysator.

but now there has been a change, now it idles when its cold, it is realy hard to start, and when its warm i have to uce start gas to start it.

about the rpm sensor, if that sensor is broken my
rpm gauge in the dashboard whoud not work rigth?

about the ideling problem:
when i let it go under 1500-2000 rpm it just dies just like ive turned the ignishion off.

so what do you guys think?

please exuse my english
im from norway and my english is not perfekt.
