Hello, I am hoping to get a few good opinions here on this issue that I am having. Engine will idle fine, then will act as tho misfiring for about 5 seconds, then resume normal idle. This cycle repeats anywhere from every 10 seconds to every 30 seconds, no matter if the engine is cold or warm, after a drive or initial start-up. Above idle all is normal, runs very strong. It's been doing this for a few months now, and as this is not my daily I planned to troubleshoot this time permitting. But I have no failures or DTC's per VCDS, and even a tick above idle and the problem goes away! So far the most likely culprit in my limited TDI experience is a sticking fuel injector. Any other input would be greatly appreciated. 269,000 miles, fresh EGR overhaul and intake cleaning, ALL vacuum lines replaced, all regular servicing done religiously. Thanks!
