Exclamation car turns but wont idle. Only replaced a bad fuel hose leak?
Hey fellas i just replaced a bad fuel hose by the primary pipe underneath the throttle body. i put everything back together in reverse order and when i start my S5 TII it turns but wont stay idle (only for a few seconds) what could it be everything was fine before i started removing the throttle body?
