My B5's rpm's drop really low after braking!
What the deal here? I just put in a new battery and this issue just started. The car is a 1997 a4 quattro. When im driving and put on the brakes the rpm's will drop to like 300-400 after becoming stationary. It vibrates for a second and the rpm's go back up to a normal range.
It sounds like a grounding issue but i might be totally off. Could you guys lend me some advice?

Same thing happened to me. I took my car in to the audi dealership to have my ignition switch fixed. When they did the repair they had to disconnect the battery. When I picked the car up... it was doing what yours was doing, except it rarely stayed running.... normally it would die.
The shop should have re-configured the ecu after they hooked the battery back up but didnt. Your car will automatically re-configure it after it is driven for a bit. The audi dealership told me 50 miles. Sure enough, about 40 - 50 miles later it was fine.

Must be nice that yours corrects that quickly. Every time I've had my battery disconnected, I do a TBA afterward and it still takes a week before it's back to normal. To my knowledge, my car is the only one that does take that long - no one else that I know needs nearly as much relearn time.
