Hey everyone,

I have a 1996 Audi A4 2.6L V6. I've been having problems recently with starting the engine. This does not happen all of the time, but it is starting to happen more often now that it is getting colder out. When I start my car it'll rev up to ~1.3K RPM, stay there for about 2 seconds and then the engine will cut out. The second time I do it, it never starts, it goes up to about 500RPM and dies. The third time is usually when it would always start with no problem, except for today. Today it took me about 10 tries (with a minute or two break in between each try) to get it started. It usually only happens on the first start of the day but it has happened more than once a day.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated and if you need any more information from me, I'd be glad to give it to you.

Thank you
