This is about a 1996 TSi AWD. For some reason, my car will not idle when warm. When the car is cold, it idles perfectly but when the car is warm, the engine dies just like if I would turn the key off as soon as I take my foot off the gas. There are no CEL's and the car acts completely normal when I don't take my foot off the gas and at near-idle RPM when I have my foot on the gas slightly. I am thinking maybe the idle air speed valve or the throttle position sensor are broken. Any tips?
