What is the cause of poor acceleration in an Audi 80?

My Audi 80 seems to have trouble accelerating, especially when accelerating from a complete stop. What could be causing this issue and how can I address it?

Firstly, make sure your Audi 80's air filter is clean and free of debris. A dirty filter can significantly impact acceleration. If the filter is clean, check the spark plugs and ignition system for any issues that may be hindering engine performance. Lastly, consider having the fuel system flushed to remove any clogs or build-up that may be restricting fuel flow.

I had a similar issue with my Audi 80 and it turned out to be a faulty mass airflow sensor. This sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine and tells the ECU how much fuel to inject. If it's not working properly, it can greatly affect acceleration. Have a mechanic check this component and replace if necessary.

Another common cause of poor acceleration in an Audi 80 is a dirty throttle body. Over time, carbon deposits can build up and restrict the airflow, resulting in sluggish acceleration. Cleaning the throttle body with a specialized cleaner can help improve performance.
