      Q My problem concerns a 2007 Renault Modus 1.4 petrol with 63,000. The Renault runs great, except for one small problem, on start-up it idles to about 1200rpm – and revs correctly – but after only a few seconds drops to 700rpm then stalls and pops.

      CASE STUDIES

      Section 1 - AUDI DATA BUS SIGNAL RECOGNITION

      This was a 1999 Audi A4 Quatro with a 1.8L TC engine that was having a hard time communicating with the scanner. The dash lights for the ABS, SRS and brakes were on all the time. The engine always started, but the customer wanted to solve the dash lights problem. Communication was never attained with the ECM module, ABS, SRS or with some of the other less common modules. The instrument cluster module however was communicating, with only an ABS code for No communication.
