hard-starting lately - any ideas ?? >>
it's been very wet here in the northeast. it's worse in the wet.. but still hard-starts when it's dry.
i've changed the plugs, cleaned the filter, changed the temp sensor. i'm out of ideas.
you have to give it gas on start-up or it will stall, and even sometimes that doesn't help (drive by wire doesn't care about me giving it gas).
thanks

carbs or points, definitely....

sorry... probably no help here.... no codes i take it? mine (ATC engine as well) sometimes does this too. but yours sounds worse.... i still need to do plugs. have you run some techron or BG44K thru it?

Actually, while the details may be different, the answer is the same. :^)
Most definitely fuel or spark. Since you mention having to "give it gas", traditionally I would think fuel. So try Green TT's recommendation with the fuel filter. Then maybe some cleaning. Throttle body, injectors, etc.

thanks for all the advice - i'm going with fuel filter >>
i have run techron, cleaned the throttle body and no misfires occur under load (so i'm ruling out coilpacks)
anyone know the correct part number?
2000 audi tt fwd / engine code atc

I've had this same **** forever now. Did all that you have and more, still there! >>
Been having this problem from years ago every time the temperature drops. Now, it's in the 70's and it does it more often than ever! First start-up of the day, right!? I've also noticed that when idling on rare occations, it hessitates a little also. First things to go were the plugs, fuel filter, fuel injection cleaning, had the 80k service along with timing belt and h20 pump. Next I had the battery tested, changed the coolant temp sensor. Shops that I have been to, even Audi, does not know how to fix this problem. AGH! If you find a solution, please keep the rest of us updated! Thanks man, and goodluck!
