Default 2 weird issues!!

Issue Number 1:

When I start my car it is extremely rough almost like its choking, then a flashing check engine light shows up in my dash then the cars idle smoothes out and it runs like a top. Don't understand why.

Issue Number 2:

My car does not leak coolant anymore, when I start i it up it doesn't leak, while im driving it doesn't leak and after I get home its still not leaking AT ALL. Then in the morning before I go to drive i notice coolant under the car and the reservoir is empty. Why would it leak when the car is not even running?????

Issue 1: Bad secondary air pump?

Issue 2: You have a leak in a line. When it's under pressure and hot then the leak goes away. Sort of like when the seams of the Blackbird weld themselves together when it's at cruising speed.

Well if you could push your audi past mach 3.2 that stuff may not leak out . 71s liked to leak fuel unless they are happy pushing the barrier.

Did I miss it. 1.8 or 2.8 engine?

If possible you need to have the car scanned so we can help you with the code if there is one. To me, since it's a 1.8 and it's flashing I'm leaning towards a coil pack and misfire but I'm a 12v pusher and 1.8ers are more versed with all there vac leaks and turbo issues haha..j/k chuckies ..

I was thinking coil pack too, but it only does it when you first start the car for like 5 seconds
