Fuel Filter Problem????
Neighbor has a 99 and when he comes up to a light on occasion the car bucks and stalls like it’s starving for gas. It’s an A4.
Restarts great and with no problem and runs like a BOH under throttle or WOT.
It’s never had the Fuel Filter changed.
He thinks it’s something in the tranny a solenoid or something, and I told him to change out the fuel filter.
Any ideas??????
Thanks

He may be having torque converter problems. Sounds like the torque convert clutch lock up is not working properly. It may be locking up
and not unlocking after it is engaged causing engine to stall when coming to a stop. Kind of like driving a stick when you dump the clutch and give it no gas.
Would not hurt to change fuel filter
need to check for codes
