Get the mild engine/car wobble effect and revs sit low (over 5) for about 7-10 sec.
Car had 1/4 (93) tank fuel.
Someone told me It was b/c of the chip (apr)
Im think Im going to change the plugs.
suggestions?<p>Nick

I usually use my A4 during the weekends so I can enjoy it more and just keep the miles down. A couple of times I've tried starting my car after letting it sit for the work week and had trouble starting her up. I would crank the engine a couple of times to try and get her going and when she started the RPMs would be eratic. I've even gone to two different dealers becuase my engine check light went on twice(two different incidents) becuase of this. They both diagnost the problem as misfires and replaced the plugs each time. I'm still not sure if that was the problem because it has happened one time since the last dealer check. This all happened before I had her chipped except for the last incident. I too think it has to do with the gas. I've started using Shell Premium exclusively now because she hasn't had trouble starting after sitting for a week, except for one time.
