    Hesitation

    Still trying to figure it out :o

    My car hesitates sometimes. When i press the gas between a tiny little bit or completly full throttle nothing happens. Doesn't happen all the time, its most apparent under half a tank of gas. When it hesitates the temp gauge goes ape-shit.

    So far i have replaced the following

    Wires, distro cap and rotor, ECU, afm, spark plugs, new fuel lines, filters - all to oem

    Wtf could this be? What is there left to check? ANY suggestions are appresiated. Iv been trying to figure this shit out since last january.

    Fuel pump solved my hesitation, definitely put it on your list of things to check/replace.

          noid, you have two pumps while david only has one. Either one of your pumps could be causing the hesitation. I'll pull your rear seat and remove the cover on the passengers side. Use a screwdriver, placed on the pump and your ear, to listen to see if the pump is running.

            Check your fuel pump relay, that wasn't on your list.

            Its either that or the fuel pump
