Extremely unusual problem
Hey guys, I'm pretty new. Having scoured the forums for answers, I could not find a solution.
I drive an 2000 Audi A4. The problem with it is that it seems to die out every time I shift from a high gear to neutral. If i were to accelerate and shift to neutral to brake, my rpm drops fast and dies. However, if I were to downshift and brake my car will usually not die.
The funny thing is when it dies, I can start the car up right away again. I just got to shift it to neutral and start. Any idea's as to what could be the culprit to this problem??

Well, I bought myself a MAF cleaner and cleaned the MAF. Checked the intake piping leading into the airbox. Everything looks decent connected yet the problem is still there. I still have yet to check for boost leaks. In the meantime, I have ordered an aftermarket MAF sensor.
Keeping my fingers crossed!

Try doing a seafoam treatment and a throttle body alignment as well. Those can help with a lot of issues. Go a step farther as well and clean the electrical connections with contact cleaner and put in a ground web - changes like that can make the electrical signals much more precise, which can have significant impact on the car's operation.

I love this forum. Everyone's so helpful. Anyway, I ran a scan and I got a 'Turbocharger boost pressure control valve circuit, open' warning. Sooo, I guess A4 2000 was right.
Also, I noticed that my diverter valve is blowing off now. I thought that was weird considering that its suppose to recirculate the air. I'll pick up a new DV and eat my losses with the new MAF sensor.
