I already posted this on Facebook and got some good input, but I figured this might be a better place to ask.
This started all of a sudden last weekend out of nowhere. Driving around Richmond and I noticed that, at idle, my car was really shaking around. Absolutely no loss of power or problems once I was moving, it's just at idle. Sometimes it really feels like it's about to die on me, but it hasn't yet. I've had a solid CEL the whole time, not flashing, so it's not super-srs but I still want it fixed.
OBD scan gave me: Random misfires, misfires on all 4 cylinders, and system too lean codes.
I bought new coilpacks a few days ago, which was stupid, but the first time I scanned I somehow missed the random misfire code so I thought it could've been the coils. Of course, it wasn't.
Took it by Midatlantic Motorwerkes and talked to a mechanic because I would've just paid to have it fixed if he knew for sure what it was, but all he said was to maybe try getting my fuel pressure checked at the Audi dealer in Charlottesville... and that's an hour drive and would definitely cost me and I'm really not convinced it's a fuel pump problem, because everything I know about that suggests that I'd be having power loss issues, which I don't.
Any thoughts?
If you think it's the fuel pump, is that really possible without at least some noticeable power loss? I CAN drive down to Cville to have it tested if it's really a good idea.
