There are a number of sensors and controls that can cause this problem (mainly MAF, TPS, IAC motor, EGR valve, O2 sensor) and you will have to figure out which one (or more) is causing the problem. First check for error codes with an OBDI code checker and follow up on the results.

SOURCE: 2002 Audi A4 3.0 Stalling and bogging down majorly.

Ignition coils has to be the answer. if it was the fuel pump your car wouldnt start. So i would say contact audi. they should have sent you a letter in the mail. We have the same car and i got a letter from them. ignition coils are the recall for the 02 a4.

SOURCE: what would case my 99 gmc jimmy to bog down and run rough when giving it gas

If you have replaced the fuel filter this year, the next thing to check is fuel pressure with a gauge. GM vortec engines require 60psi or more to run.
If the check engine light is on you should also have the computer scanned for trouble codes.

Rough idle it dies or bogs down when i give it gas

Have the fuel pressure checked. Low fuel pressure from a weak pump, a clogged filter, or a bad pressure regulator will cause those problems.

95 gmc jimmy rough idle fuel in exhaust drives

Purchase new egr valve gasket with screen on it. The motor as it get older produces more carbon it then begins to break off and when the valve opens it get caught in there. i have cleaned mine several times and finally found the gasket at napa for around 22 bucks. All you need it 10mm wrech and 10mm socket with ext. takes around 10 min to do.
