A4 Stall Speed Problem
My '01 A4 Coupe, completely stock, stalls hard when I try to load the converter. I can only get about 1500 rpm. Even if I let up on the brake a little it won't even squeek the tires. It completely bogs and the revs even seem to fall off a bit. I thought the Vette converters were looser than this.
I did have an encounter with a deer a while back (replaced the front facia, she's perfect again). I noticed in another thread that someone mentioned the computer throwing a code in a collision. Could that be the case?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The computer has a thing called abuse mode. If you try to stall it up with the brakes on it it cuts all of the timing. It will go back to 0 degrees. You need a reprogram if you want to to any brake stalls.

BTW, I can get a good smoky burn out in the water box at the strip. Once the tires start to spin the Revs come up and I can smoke'm at will.
It just seems strange that this problem coincides with a minor collision.
