Hey Guys,

I have a 92 TSI AWD and I get a check engine light :( henever I am cruising at mid throttle or wide open throttle. soon as I let off the pedal it turns off. The car runs just fine though. This seems to just have started after I cleaned my intake with AMSOIL Power Foam. *PLUG* I make it a good practice to use a can of this stuff on all my cars every 30k miles or so. Its great for throttle response.

Any ideas what could have happened? Thanks ahead of time.
 
I just wanted to let everyone know that my problem went away on its own. I don't know what was causing it :p
 
Could of been a dirty throttle body. But get a datalogger and next time it comes on check what code it is and it will tell you exactly what it is.
