check your timing belt, same thing happened with my car after installing a new timing belt- i just didnt mind to check the timing belt tensioner at all so it skipped a tooth and thats that.

already check that it was off by 2 teeths and now its on perfect....only thing im guessin is..its still off because my dizzy is all the way advanced right now making it run perfect with the timing belt it shows it perfect timing not advanced at all..a friend of my said it might be my tps sensor or my map sensor thats makin my car just die out..it is a old a6 manifold off a 88..im already swaping it out and puttin a y8 so hopfullie that will stop the problem i have..
