When I start tha a4 in the morning it wont start, you press the gas pedal while starting it starts but in very very low idle and shaky after it warms up a little it becomes normal and runs good.
Any halp on my issue wil l be appreciated
thanks a lot

Hi, Sometimes, this problem can be to do with the ECU. Try disconnecting the battery, as this will allow the ECU to reset itself. There are, of course, many other reasons. Good Luck.

It would be easier to diagnose if you state the engine you have eg diesel or petrol.

your runnin gass? as in petrol or lpg? :S if yr running on lpg then you cant start a car on lpg or it is dificult i.e rough running u need to start them on petrol then switch to lpg, but by 93 oct am assuming u mean petrol :S try cleaning out the throttle body

I agree with rick, it probably your throttle body that needs cleaning. I assume from the gas reply that you are in America.

93 ron Gas seems a bit low, over here we run 95 ron unleaded or 98 ron super unleaded.

Do you have a owners manual for the car?

Hope this helps
