DAMN....That was annoying! Learn to use spaces in between your sentences.
My ecu seems to react better to gradual throttle and does not like quick "stomps", but every dsm is different. I doubt its lag.......
You can also find a 1g throttle body elbow to throw on there, instead of paying a dealer hundreds of dollars. 1g throttle body>2g throttle body.
Being a 95 that you just purchased...with adverage milage would put it around 100k, or so. Just do a tune up on the whole car and that will also rule out alot of other possibilities.

tune ups work wonders

BTW unless you are making 400hp, I do not recomend putting BPR7ES spark plugs in. I always ran slower with them when I had the 16G and they fouled to much. BPR6ES is just fine for a 300hp or less car.
Colder plugs DO NOT increase spark or power, all they do is cool off faster which can help a bit if you have alot of knock or are tunning on the edge. Because they stay cooler they may not burn all the deposits off causing them to foul and you will then LOSE power.
If you have less than 400hp and are knocking alot fix your problem, lower your timming or increase fuel, plugs aren't a mod.

tune up man,,DUH ! 5extra psi in the tires, fill up the washer fluid, ya know,, that kinda shit..plugs are too a mod! Denso Iridium's give you +15hp,, it says so on the box, lol jfwy
i didnt know that about the plugs, ill try the 6's and see what happens, u happen to know the part number off hand?

BPR6ES
Let me clarify a little more...
Colder plugs simply have more ceramic material (white part around the electrode) touching the outside housing (metal part with threads) of the plug. The ceramic part is there to insulate the electrode from the casing (which is grounded) and as we are discussing to pull heat from the hot electrode (heatsink affect). Your plugs need to stay at certain temps to stay clean, if they are not hot enough the plugs will build up with carbon (fouling).
So the BPR6ES’s are the same plugs as the BPR7ES except the BRP7ES’s have slightly more ceramic insulating material.
How do colder plug help?
Detonation can be spawned by hot spots in the combustion chamber. If your cylinder temps get really hot your plugs will get hotter, if the insulator does not pull enough heat from the electrode it will become a hotspot that may cause detonation.
