Hello

My 1995 audi A6 quattro starts and runs great, only every once a while it would back fire as i'm driving or shut off if i'm idling in a red lights, it's happening more and more these days,

I already changed the timing belt, fuel filter, spark plugs.

it seems like something is wrong with fuel delivery, my car starts right away almost everytime after it shuts off, sometimes it would start back up, shake for a bit and die again, and sometimes it keeps on runing,

When the car shuts off while driving I can hear these miss combustion noises, little explosions,

What is wrong with my car please? well at lease what do you think?

Not sure if it is the same thing, but my car for the longest time would have an issue where all of a sudden the ESP warning light would come on, the car would then rumble and sputter, the RPM would jump all over the place especialy when starting and stopping, when accelerating the car would jerk and misfire and when stopping it would die.

We took it in over and over again and they kept getting a mass air flow error, after replacing that about 4 times it was finialy found to be a throttle body problem.

hope that helps
