When I changed my sparkplugs I noticed this splice into the wiring going to the coilpack furthest from the firewall.

Why would someone splice into this wire? I am have problems with engine stuttering and bad gas milage.

Thanks

was it some aftermarket item? That needs to know rpm?

Fix it.

I know we had to actually cut some of the insulation on the first coilpack to get a signal when I was on the dyno.

That's an *immediate* and place to start. I see two different guages of wires and no shielding. That's defeinitely not good. That's a hack job, and will lead to arcing.

With bad wires, sometimes you can actually see and hear it when a wire 'arcs' against metal in the engine bay. This may be the direct cause of the problems you've described. You can also try swapping coilpacks and monitoring for mis-fires with the vag, to see if they follow the coil from one cylinder to the next. It could be a bad coil.

If you have an older A4 (pre 99.5), then you may also have an ignition control module in need of replacing.

I had a remote starter put on! If this is the quality of the work I paid for someone is getting a boot in their ***.

Nothing to hide

Besides they use to spy on me - I had TS clearances in the nuclear side of things
