AudiA3 Bad Idle and rough at certain revs

Hi there, I own a 97 1.8 non turbd a3, the car idles roughly, and revs slightly fluctuate more when cold, I also feel vibrations through the accelerator at certain revs and gear ratios. Ive had the maf sensor replaced, new sparkplugs and leads. I'm slowly eliminating the problems, like cleaning throttlebody etc, I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas?

Buy a bottle or two of gas line anti freeze, it absorbs any water that may be in your fuel. add one bottle now and one the next time you fill up. if it is water as i suspect you will notice results almost immediately.

I have a2004 mazda 3 s when the a/c is on the idle gets rough when the compressor cycles on and off. A/c works intermittenly,can feel the idle fluctuate even while at speed and slightly accelerating.

when the ac compressor comes on, the engine should rev up a little to compensate for the strain of the compressor and if this is not happening, then you would get that rough idle. Some engines have a valve control to let in a little air into the engine intake so that it revs a little. I think this is called an AC step up.

Revs up and runs rough then stalls, it runs very rough, it can barely idle, put in gear and it stalls

I would like more info on the vehicle, as to the engine size. There are vacuum leaks on this engine, both the 4cyl and 6cyl. The injector lower seals are prone to cause this condition, but to check for this and to do it safely, is have it smoke tested with the proper test equipment. The EGR valves can also stick partially open, causing a rough idle and then a idle fluctuation and a stalling problem. Another poss cause is the idle control motor is failing. This vehicle should be taken in for service at a very reputable repair shop. If not properly diag, will cost hundreds of dollars just to "PUT PARTS ON IT UNTIL IT RUNS GOOD".

Rough idle, car has no ICV, idle control valve, so what now?

It will deffinitely have a form of idle control, sometimes it is part of the throttle body but there will be one... 100% certain.

Rough idle as in lumpy will not be an ICV related fault, as with ICV it will either have solid high revs or none at all.

It will either be an inlet vacuum issue - split hose, gasket, MAFS etc or an irratic voltage caused by things like a Lambda or worn throttle potentiometre

Describe the rough idle in more detail if you can, also are you UK or USA etc.

Do you know what cc and engine code your car is?
