Hi all, first off yes i have done a search, found a few things im going to try, just figured it a good idea to have my own thread up to record suggestions and results etc 
Anyway im new to this part of the forum, had a 2.0 PD140 A3 8P, but it was boring so i sold it, pocketed some extra cash and bought an S3 8L.
But yeah to the point, it has an idle, that is sometimes too high (1100/1200rpm) and sometimes bang on (900ish) and when ticking over the needle can be seen going up and down and up and down a few hundred rpm, its subtle but definately there.
But the more annoying point is when i plant my right foot the car accelerates, then sort of has these split second hold backs, where it looses power, ever so quick, but if theres a few of them in a row its a real pain, somethings obviously not right. Its like a stutter, thats the best word i can think to describe it at the minute. it does it less when accelerating down hill, and not at all going up through the revs if i accellerate slowly, its only when planting the throttle below say 4000rpm (roughly).
I have cleaned the throttle body, then realigned by disconnecting the battery then reconnecting and turniing ignition on for 30 seconds. I have fitted new spark plugs. I tried disconnecting the maf and that made it hunt and run **** and also put a warning light on the dash. I have also cleaned what i believe to be the fuel pressure regulator.
Its been stage 2 mapped and i run it on super unleaded.
Suggestions please..
Thanks all
