    got a tune-up in 2005.... new accel opti, cap+rotor, MSD wires and new Stock) plugs..... car been running great... no problems.. but.... now i'm sorta noticing something different on the power..... it still gets it's "powerband" when i gun it... but.... at normal driving it feels sluggish, no power, like something is clogging it..... like it should be faster then what it is... so.... i still have stock with 110xxx miles they are:

    stock: cats, everything in engine dept. except tune up parts and K&N... , suspension..

    so... i'm either thinking the cat is clogged? or there's something else and i dont know what that something else could be? i mean ****************ty suspension makes it ride like **************** and not as fast i know.. but can anyone help me think of anything else... car still starts everyday and gets me where it needs to just i sense something like the car needs . kinda feels like an opti issue again but i dont think it is... like from stop (normal pedal drivin) ...ooo00000 bout 2000 to 2300 or whereever it shifts to second gear(A4).. feels clogged feelin

    maybe the fuel pump is dying? usually that effects WOT though.

        lose the cats first, even if they aren't the problem no harm done

          I agree with the previous post, start with the simple and cheap, fuel filter first, quick and easy and a good preventive maintenace, then go from there.

              well forgot to mention there is a new fuel filter.. and the MAf is fine... nothing clogged there...and as far as fuel pump it starts everyday and all but never know could that too... but that would be a pain:/ . so i'm taking a good guess that it is the cat... but i dont know what to exspect from a clogged cat? really....
