I have a 95 t/a at and when I get on it there is sometimes a lag, it just takes a few seconds for it to get up and go. Anyone know what it could be? I've been told something by a friend, but i just want a couple more opinions before i go buying parts. any help is greatly appreciated.

how many miles are on the car?? i just got a full tune up on my car minus putting in a new opti and my car feels a million times stronger than before. I used to get on it and it would be a little sluggish from a stand still or even during driving in traffic but now i put the hammer down and she goes like she is supposed to i guess as well as a stock car can go lol.

I had a similar problem, it turned out to be the driver's side o2 sensor. CE light would come on and the car would start acting sluggish, I'd give it some gas and the light would go out and the car would run fine. Then it would do the same thing while cruising down the highway. It turns out that the o2 sensor grounds to its own housing and the tack weld came aloose I clamped it down and no more problems. But the best thing you could do is get a OBDI to usb from Moates and download DataMasters software, you get 20 free uses. You'll find out what you code it that way. Good Luck

My 95 has 2 cats.To my understanding 95 A4 only cars that were originally to be sold in CA got 2 cats.My car has the OBD2 plug connector too,but the computer is still OBD1.

you are going to have to use a different scanner...one that is compatible with both...snapon is a good one to use...take it to a shop man have them run your codes and then bring it home and fix it...just do what i said to do before, put your hand over the exhaust tips, but cover both tips and if its not allowing air to blow through then its your cat...you will know once you put your hands over the tips what i am talking about!! let us know
