sounds to me like it could be a clogged cat judging by the horrible smell. i doubt it is on a 95 if its the cat, but is the service engine soon light on?

Is your 95 a 49-state emissions car (one cat) or a CA emissions A4 with dual cats?

Have you scanned for codes? EGR will mess everything up once the car warms up and under load. SES/Check Engine light will come on too.
