- '02 VX SS A4
Hello.
My VX SS has a terrible misfire with a rough idle that is throwing no codes.
Here are a few things I've noticed.
1: car starts right up, so I don't think that the fuel pump is bad
2: when it's idling rough and I try to press on the pedal, sometimes a loud popping noise comes out of the intake (it's K&N CAI) and the car feels like it's about to stall (now it does, it didn't before).
3: Fuel filter is relatively new.
4: Injectors are pulsating and cleaned recently, so no problems there, BUT when I disconnect one or two injectors there's barely any difference.
5. When the idling gets worse, the intake gets louder and louder as if it's sucking too much air.
6. The problem wasn't sudden, it got worse and worse over time the more I tried to run and drive the car in this state.
7. When I leave the car idling for a bit, an overwhelming smell of gas can be smelled in the cabin. I tried looking for the cause of this before but to no avail.
I would go to a mechanic, but I live in a suburb area so I don't wanna risk driving the car.
If there's something else I should check, or need any info please let me know.
