Default Help !!! Car Just Dies

hey guys,

Another problem with the '93 (A4 LT1).

Just driving along and oops, no more engine power. All acc. work nothing outta the ordinary except now it won't turn over. If it just sits for a while it will start back up but alas it will die again. There is no stuttering not putting around, just 100% dead. It seems like it wants to turn over, you can here it firing but just nothing happens.

Hopefully i can respond to any questions you may have, just thats about all that happens.

Thanks for any help in advance.

How do I put this ... It sorta starts. It just dies right away. And when I do get it started, put my foot on the peddle, boom it dies. I was talking to my mechanic that I deal with for my company, and he thinks its a feul pump.

The coil was just replaced no more then a month ago.

could be the fuel pump... but don't ignore the coil and/or the ignitor.

Check your fuel pressure and check for spark.
