hesitation while accelerating

[brandondan1]

^^^ lol.

This thread has been helpful. I'm having the same problem, but only when the car is cold. If I try to give it gas sometimes it'll stutter, and sometimes when I'm taking off in gear the car will bog down and then have a surge of power. I also hear a whine when it's cold, and was wondering what that was.

I know I have a small leak at the fpr occasionally (have new one waiting), but I'm going to replace my in-tank fuel pump. This will be a good excuse to change my trippy fuel sending unit. Hopefully this will fix my problem.

Any luck with the car, Formula Driver?

No man, only thing I think it could be is the fuel pump! Im gonna go ahead and replace it. If its not that than Ill go ahead and do the FPR and or the injectors.

let me know how yours turns out...

Sounds like you have the same problem. Theres like 215 K miles on my original fuel pump so it wont hurt to replace it.

Chea, I replaced my in-tank pump, fpr, and spark plugs. Now it cranks up right away. No more hesitations when cold either. Unfortunately though, I think my starter is going out (makes horrible sound). Probably from all of those long cranking times but I'm not sure. I pray that my flywheel isn't the problem ;;.

Did u get around to replacing it?

That fixed everything? Shit, I might just skip replacing my ignition components for now and replace my fuel pump instead. I've had a sneaking suspicion for a long time it's dying a slow death, and since you had such a positive outcome, I think I'll replace it ASAP.
