Default I want to push this car off a cliff...

In fact that is what the audi tech told me the next step was if the car wasn't fixed after the injectors were replaced. Well, guess what! After replacing the injectors he is getting a new code. The throttle body is sending an implausible signal, isn't that just fabulous. I am hoping it is just a loose hose, wire, or piece of something screwing with the throttle body. If they say they have to replace the throttle body boy do I have a suprise for them! A while back there was a recall on the throttle body if my memory serves me correctly, cold weather could freeze the throttle body so that the throttle would stick. The recall was only issued to cars in "cold states" well I might just decide to move to a cold state for college so throw that bad boy on there at no cost to me! Hopefully anyway...

Cleaning the TB is common. Gets gunked with carbon. Surprised it wasn't done as part of all this.

Default go to the Northern CA board...

and ask around for a good local shop the knows Audis. Most of the good ones were audi trained, but know the cars perhaps better than the dealers and the charge much less.
