audi 2.8 very slow acceleration
My car accelerates slow. I thought it was normal until i seen my friend drive his.. When i take off i get 0 tire spin, even before i replaces my tires when they were practically running on threads.
I think my cats clogged. I hit it and hear stuff jingling around, and my o2 sensors say there rich, so i figured there broken from when it was misfiring from oil on plugs. Can i just hit the cat until it breaks free? Drill it out then put screws in it? I have no welder or sawzall. Also should i unplug the sensors or just keep them in even tho there reading bad? |

I would start with a basic tune up. A new set of plugs, wires, 02 sensors, and air filter might bring your V6 back to life!

Its 30v from a 98.
I fixed valve cover gasket, new plugs, new wires and ignition, k and n intake. Im not wanting to break anything i just want to feel the awd acceleration push me back in my seat, and when a non vtec d16 beats me off the line i know im lacking power. I dont drag race, maybe some highway runs but i get outran by everything.. Even a 2000ish ford tarus was taking off on me on my way home from work today. I figured cats because even at high rpms it sounds like its just starting to feel powerfull. all, and at low rpms it seems to take a while to rev up. My idle is about 800 is that normal? Not my icv already did it. I dont have to pass inspections so why not drill it out . Is it true that a jingling cat is bad? |
To be honest the 30 valve V6 is not a very strong power plant from the start. Mate that to a heavy body and an all wheel drive system things start to slow down.
You could punch your cats out - essentially giving you "piggy pipes" which is what S4 guys do. I would suggest removing the cats from the car before you punch them out, then reinstall. Jason |

Okay so heres the deal.
I drilled a half inch hole in each of the cats, and a bunch of dust was falling out. It is way faster off the line. Also I had 4+ CEL codes p1127 p1129 p1139 p1141 One for "circuit connection to MAF" And also one for a broken evap vacuum hose. After drilling it out I'm down to just the one code for the hose that I broke (since its made out of hard plastic" I don't even know how that's possible but I'm glad it did. |
