Default Startup Trembling 1.8 T

It's trembling when starts after a humid night, or rain. It trembles both at idle and acceleration. It does that for 5 minutes, then, after a short heat, it works normal.

The MIL light blinks for couple of minutes and remaines ON.

I checked the spark plugs and the and they seem to look fine. I checked the conectors to the coils and the amplifier and they were dry.

I've seen a coil was changed and I heard (previous owner) the amplifier was changed as well. How can I check this?

Default Probably your ICM...

You really need to get the VAG codes. After that if it says one cyclinder is misfiring or multiple misfires, play musical coil packs.

If its cylinder 2 then its most likely your ICM. Mine went out a few months ago. I used this <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/1594531.phtml" target="_new">write up</a> to test mine. I tested volts instead of OHMs and was able to see that the right amount of volts were not getting through to the cylinder 2. Search, there is a lot out there. If it is your ICM buy a Huco aftermarket for like $150 instead of paying $400 for a bosch one that will probably break down the line again.
