Default 1990 audi 100 warm/cold start problems during humid weather

My audi has aprox 115,000 miles. It is a 2.3 liter V6 with fuel injection, automatic. During the last several years, I have had problems starting it during humid weather. If it does start, for example during a rainy day, it will run fine for a few blocks and then "bog-out" and stall. Also, after it stalls, the engine will turnover but the car will not start until it sits for about 20 minutes. I have tried putting "heet" in the gasoline, but this does not help. I had it towed to the shop a couple of times, but the mechanics cannot figure out what the problem is! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Default 5 cylinder, CIS injection? You are probably starting to feel like a football (saw your post

on the feedback forum) but the 5000 or 80/90 forum might be best.

Most the cars (posters) here have the V6 2.8 liter 12v engine.

There is a lot more I5 and CIS fuel injection experiance on those forums.

Re: A 2.3 liter V6? Never knew they existed. Diesel? What country do you live in?
