    Does the engine seem to stumble/stutter, or could just be turbo lag (assuming you are TT).

    Check for loose clamps on air intake pipes.

    Mine used to have a flat spot also so i replaced the 02s and it fixed it up but sometimes it still does it :( i think it might have something to do with disconecting my egr :cool:

    A.S.C.D pump

    Does the ascd pump have anything to do with this - as I gave it a few taps and got alot of power back.Started car later and it was idling at 1500 - gave the ascd pump a few more taps and idle came back to normal.
    Also what would it cost to get the tps checked.
    It is a auto as well.
