s4 TII well im going down the road and start coming to a red light. i put the clutch in and i have a habbit of watching the rpm. well it went below 500 so i started giving it some gas but that did nothing and it shut off.

i pull to the side of the road turn it over and it starts but the rpm jumps to about100 and then it dies.

i pop the hood nothing leaking no vac leaks so i do the deflooding and it starts right up and has been running strong since.

this is a fresh rebuild with 1900 miles on it.

what would cause it to shut off like that and then deflood and run perfectly fine?

i checked the plugs and they are fine

could this be leaky injectors? i am getting pretty bad mileage

 

did the voltage drop along with everything? did you notice your radio dying? if so, its the alternator.

 

nah the alternator is only a year old. the battery is optima yellow top. unfortunately i dont have a volt gauge

EDIT the radio worked fine and all the dummy lights were bright.

 

I've heard that when you get a rebuild on a 13b it has to build compression. Somewhere along the way to building that compression it is possible to flood the engine and you must use the deflood procedure. Have you had the compression checked?

 

no but it only has 1900. it should have pretty much built its full comp. if it happens again then ill definitely test it.

 

drove it this morning and it did well.

maybe its just one of those one time weird gremlins
