Change your sparks and plugs....thats probably what it is.

ihave checked the plugs and wires both are in good shape i will check them again thanks

Do you have any mod's? Sometimes hesitation could be a hole in the fuel curve. If you have an AFC or something you might want to turn up the fuel a little at the rpm were it does it the most. Otherwise, I would have to agree it is probably the wires arcing on something through the boots. Have seen it a bunch with various wires.

im going to replace wires/plugs to be safe mods upgraded tubo and exhaust fuel wise i think its stock thanks

Make sure you didnt remove all the honeycombs from the MAS. I made the mistake when playin around with that and the car would hesitate even stall at times.

Ya, honeycomb removal is a NO-NO :(

Yes it is Kimmy.



Could be lots of little things.. Boost leak... plugs and wires...

Ive got a problem similar to this I have to attend to this weekend when I go back home :rolleyes

I use to get a "hesitation" while on the highway as well. It was because I removed the honeycombs. It was almost more like a jerk than a hesitation. I'd watch the Karmon scale on the AFC and it would spike REAL high during this "jerk". My diagnosis was that it was an instantaneous "fuel cut" happening becuase the Karmon scale was spiking so high.

When I put my honeycombs back in, I no longer had any problems like this.

Ya I ended up putting my homeycombs back in to stop my problem.

I only wish I still had my honey combs still :confused My current one is on loan.... :bow Mike...if you read this...let me know when you need that stuff back....

[spank06gst]

The honey combs are located in the MAS...in the left front fender well....once you remove it they look...well...just like a bee honey comb...you should check to see if the lower one's are in....if you still can't determine which one's (once you remove it) I can take a picture of mine tomarrow and post....no hole should be without a honeycomb....
Here's a pic of the MAS (honey combs are inside of this)
