Stalling 2004 AllRoad in Pine, CO

I wouldn't think the suggested plugged cat would cause this for a 2004, 
but tapping on it definitely would indicate whether there's loose 
ceramics inside.  Fuel pump would be more likely for the driving 
symptoms described.  There are lots of issues with the Tiptronic trannies.
