No 3k start up?
Whenever I start my s4 TII it turns over and idles around 900-1100 every time. I have to blip the gas for a few minutes before it will idle by itself and will shut itself off randomly at idle when at red lights and what not.
Ideas?

Does this go away once warmed up? Could be the cold start system that is ment to raise you idle when it is running cold and keep it higher via thermowax but then once up to temp it should settle down. I know mine did that until I readjusted it. The 3k start were it revs up to 3k is electronic from what I have read.

Just means his cold start stuff on the throttle body is either missing or messed up. My dads t2 is the same way you have to let it warm up. I am trying to replace the throttle body with one with the cold start setup still on it.

is all the emissions Crap removed?
when that is done,and the engine gets "simplified",you lose your Cold start system and with a Throttle body mod,you take thermowax crap off,and a whole shitload of hoses,so the car won't idle when started Cold, unless you have your Foot on the gas pedal.

It does go away SLIGHTLY after the car is at temperature, but not completely. It will still stall at red rights occasionally.
All the emissions equipment is still there, minus the EGR.
Is there somewhere I can get a block off plate for where the EGR is located?
I could care less about the start up honestly, but the car dying out AND FLOODING AT LEAST ONCE A DAY is not only embarrassing, and concerning, but getting expensive. I'm at 130 miles on this tank and I only have a quarter left.
Something has to be wrong. lol

Something that may not be in the FSM tree - Check the tightness of the throttle cable, I killed myself for too long when I first got my FC why it was dying at stop lights all the time, then i realized there was no tension on the cable. This won't solve your cold start problems but always a good thing to check the cable tension along with everything else on the throttle body while you are poking around.
