2002 Audi A6 Engine problems

When I first got the vehicle it would start with no issues and now it wont start an I cant figure out why and not sure if this is the reason I cant think of what else it could be it acts like its not getting any fuel or something to get started.

I parked my car to detail it and after I went to drive to the store and my car wasn't reaching above 4000 rpms and wouldn't go over 60 mph ...Its acting like there is a rev limiter and throw 2 new codes...Never got engine bay wet jus outer body of vehicle ...Diagnostic codes are p0322 and p0421 I believe one is for the engine ignition distributor no signal and also catalytic system below threshold bank 1 .....After I parked car again I tried to start and nothing happened ....I've bout new c.O.P's ....And still...

I recently bought my audi and throughout the summer it drove just fine, but once winter came around and the temperatures dropped, I noticed the smell of gas in my car as soon as it was started. I opened the hood and there was gas spraying from what looked like all six fuel injectors. So I took the car to a mechanic, where they replaced numerous things (fuel pressure regulator, o rings, valve system, and all 6 fuel injectors) all to no avail. Nobody can tell me what is wrong, nobody knows. I called audi and they...

The audi was stopped at a stop light when the rpm meter started to drop revs suddenly. Once the car was in motion the engine felt rough. The car was driven 3 miles with no further incidence and was parked for the night. The next day when the car was started in the morning the check engine light came on and the engine started to get very sluggish and shuddering. The car was immediately stopped and the diagnostic codes were pulled. The codes showed multiple cylinder misfires with specific misfires in cylinder 2 and three. The car was towed to an audi dealer where this was confirmed. The dealership mentioned that there was a voluntary recall for exactly this issue. This is a safety issue. *Tr

This car has been great to me. Aside from a fuel pump going, just recently I was driving on the freeway and the car died. The epc light on the dash popped up and luckily I was able to coast to the side of the road. I attempted to start the car several times before calling aaa (15-20 min) while on the phone with aaa I attempted to start the car again and it fired right up. Thinking it was just a one time issue I got back on the freeway where 10 mile or so later same the same thing happened. Another 20 min of...

My check engine light is marking misfire but I have gotten a complete tune-up, changed all 6 coils on the engine changed all the spark plugs, I've done everything possible and changed everything I can that has to do with the engine all brand new and nothing has worked and its still saying misfire...I've googled this problem for audi's and there were so many people complaining about the same thing... Also, I am having a problem with the electrical system as well one day my windows work the next it doesn't sometimes...

Once again my check engine light appeared 200 miles later and I took the vehicle back to the audi dealer. I requested that they check the catalytic...

Even when we put the vehicle in neutral,the engine did not stop revving. We checked to make sure the cruise control was not on and tried the engine again, only to have the engine rev through the redline when only the brake pedal (and...
