I saw the FAQ on this on Fred's, but I want to make sure I'm talking about the right thing here. As usual, not much help on Fred's page.
At idle - pretty much most of time, I'd say 90% of the time - my car sounds horrible, unbelievably loud, and the entire motor feels like it's shaking vigously. I was told the IQ probably needed to be adjusted/fixed. Does this sound right?
Honestly, I can't say I've seen much of a difference in performance, though. When accerating, the car isn't any slower - from what I can tell. Maybe I'm wrong, though. Also, I will say that when I am having this issue (which like I said, is 95% of the time) that when I rev it up, the RPM's fall down a lot slower. The needle on the tach literally falls down slower, it's weird.
Now, when it's running fine and not having this problem (which is rare), then the revs fall down quite normal and pretty quick.
So, if this indeed simply means my IQ is jacked, here are my questions.
1)Is a VAG-Com the *ONLY* way to adjust it? Will any other scan tool do it?
2) What is an ideal setting to have the IQ set at?
Before you mention the injection pump going out, I highly doubt that's it. It has a brand new 11mm injection pump in the car now. Shortly after installing (and putting the injection timing in correct time) the pump, it ran fine. This is a recent problem.
Thanks a lot for the help!
