Vacuum Switch error code, but not vacuum switch???
Posted in the technical section. But, posting here as well since it is far more widely surfed.
Ok,
The Car - S5 N/A Vert, automatic
The symptoms - Heavy acceleration (and sometimes cruising), engine cuts out in some sort of electrical cut off manner intermittently. Pretty sure its not air or fuel related.
Tested for error code, indicated faulty pressure sensor. To check, swapped pressure sensor from another S5 that has never given a problem. But, same cut off symptom. So, tried a third pressure sensor from a S5 that has never given a problem. Still same cut off symptom.
Worked fine before taken to a body shop where, among other things, it sat for a very very long time. So, perhaps something in the vacuum or electrical connections to the sensor??
Help - Any suggestions out there??????? Otherwise, I'm thinking a Rotary Mechanic that is also a catholic priest!!!!
