Odd Heat Related Problem?
The car in question is an S5 NA 'vert. This issue has happened with both the stock exhaust on the car, an aftermarket exhaust on the car, a stock airbox on the car, and an aftermarket cone filter.
Anytime I start the car cold, it runs fine. If I make a stop or two...it still runs fine. If I drive for a long period of time and try to drive again within a few minutes or I make 3 or 4 stops within an hour, get out, and come back to the car, this is the issue I experience...
...The car will have full power for a moment and then...none. If you press down on the accelerator you hear the engine trying to have more power but instead it stutters and bogs down...even worse than limp mode. I mean it litterally feels like you have about 5HP.
Any thoughts?
