Please read this ICV post, (also in the a4 forum)

2 weeks ago my car started sputtering around 200 RPM so I hurriedly came to AW to figure out what the problem was. I was instantly told that it was my ICV (thanks Kris Hansen) and cleaned it and checked it. I took a reading of the ICV and got around 16 ohms, which I was promptly told was too high and to check again. I checked again, but still got around 16, but I blame the multimeter, and I need to get a new one. But since then my car has not been acting up and seemed if all was normal so I was told that it would be OK if I drove around until the ICV started giving me problems.

Well, that ended up being tonight. As I started to slow, my engine immediately died but started up with no problem, but died again. I could only keep the engine running if I held my foot on the gas. I let the car sit for a couple hours and then started it back up and it was fine. I am going to order a new ICV tomorrow, but I wanted to make sure that this still sounded like an ICV problem to everybody. I have no VAG and couldn't get anybody in my area to respond so I can't tell by myself.

Does this still sound like an ICV issue.
TIA,
Paul

I replaced my ICV 1 year ago. I cleaned it a few times and it always seemed to act up after a few months. I haven't had any stalling problems since I installed the new ICV.

My idle sucked, and the electric resistance of the ICV was only slightly out of spec. Yours is way off.
