likely have a common +12 supply. Check wiring diagrams to find where that common point is and you'll likely have found the source of your problem.

I haven't seen issues like this on Audis, but on Mk.4 VW's, that common point is normally the fuel pump relay.

I would start by replacing the fuel pump relay.
Then erase the faults and see if any come back. The fuel pump relay circuit can cause a back feeding power circuit short to ground fault in a ton of other circuits.I have seen this problem
before and the fuel pump relay has fixed it. It also wouldn't hurt to do a voltage drop test of the ground circuit and visually inspect ground
connections in the engine compartment.

MR IGOTBASS

I will try the fuel pump relay. Problem in that I downloaded the bently papers and it says the relay is located in behind the storage on the drivers side. Where exactly is this pointing to. It is not very clear. If someone could point me to the location of the relay that would help alot.

MOOG TECH

It's located behind the drivers side knee panel and in the relay panel behind that.I don't remember which exact position but if you buy a new one you can then match it up with the one in that panel.The Audi is getting it's second wind.

MR IGOTBASS

I HAVE ANOTHER A6 HERE, SWAPPED OUT THE RELAY AND NOTHING CHANGES. I HAVE NO CLUE. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS

The car running missing all cylinders, specially #1 #4 #5, there is a air vent valve in the back on the top of the intake manifold is keep sucking air, if I block this valve, and the car will run ok. Is that intake manifold has prolem need to be replace, I don't think is the valve has problem.

I know this issue was a long time ago, but did you ever discover a solution to this problem. My A4 3.0 has just started doing this and throws Exactly the same codes under engine. Car misses, runs lumpy and revs jump around. CEL and ESP on, Auto box also feels jerky - especially when selecting 'D' (no faults logged in auto box tho)
