Audi S3 idle problem

[Omar17]

Started the S3 and it's idling very rough and nothing happens when I press the accelerator.

MAF most likely... unplug the MAF for now, that should get you going... restarting the engine also works but only until it faults again...

Check for fault codes... sounds like you will have a torque limit 2 exceeded code

Thank you, disconnected it and it's better than before

Faulty MAF most likely but validate from a fault scan and post up the results

The S3 was sat for awhile, it is idling fine now, thanks for your help

Sure it does, and he can now claim he's gone MAFless




For those of you of who do not speak sarcasm... this was it.
