What causes an A4 to not Go when floored? I dunno if I need the Tuning forum or A4 forum ,but when I am going down the road in Drive and Floor it the cars doesnt wanna go,It dont kick down and move.Not throwing any codes and I checked misfires and Have none.This isnt all of the time just sometimes.what would cause this?
use a scanner and look at the data stream at the tps throttle position sensor the value should change as the pedal is moved up and down , also make sure its plugged in securly though that would likley set a code but out of range might not as long as it wasnt higher or lower than max and min resistance

Sounds almost like what happened when I accidentally bumped my throttle adjustment thingy off. I put it back on not thinking, and was stuck at 80% throttle. Car wouldn't downshift at WOT, and wouldn't go over about 5500 rpm. When I figured out what I did, I smacked myself in the head so hard, I saw stars.

If you floor it...and the RPM's go up but the car doesn't accelerate...then the transmission is most likely slipping.
If you floor it and the motor starts pulling but it won't downshift, there might be something wrong with the transmission kickdown (probably electronic). Downshift it manually with the shifter, if it downshifts and accelerates like normal, you've found your issue.
