Throttle Issues, S4 NA, Sputter & Stalling
So I've been driving this car perfectly fine, right. It's been totally happy, no completely major problems.
It overheated once, but I shut it off quickly. I still think coolant seals are going out, but I'm not sure. My water pump seal *is* damaged, and does drip. I have a replacement due to arrive on Wednesday.
I drove the car, no problems, it was happy. It sits for about 30 minutes tops, and I tried to start it and it just falls on its face around 800 to 1000 rpm. It IDLES around 1000 (no tach but judging from sound) I crawled home at 15mph, around 800rpm in first gear. I had to hold my foot juuust on the throttle, any slight amount of pressure and it would sputter and loose all power.
I've been looking around, and I think it's a vacuum line, only problem is, I can't see anything that fell off. I'll check the plugs in the morning to see if they're wet, but I don't think the problem is internal. It has to be something externally.
Pictures, PLEASE. If any of you have any idea.
