Fuel loss and hesitation
If I'm at a steady speed, then give it some gas, the signal momentarily on my A/F gauge drops off the lean end, accompanied with momentary hesitation (that has been plaguing me for a while now), then the fuel catches up and seems to run properly. What'* the deal with that? It happens from a stop, also.

Allot can happen in 2 years. I know that you usually don't have to change them very often but I have had mine changed twice in just a few months, ( long story).
With all the crap in the gas these days it may just be that.

Seriously though, since it happens when you step on it it coudl either be that fuel filter but could also be the sock in the tank or both. I would get the fule filter changed first and go from there. I have had filters do strange things on me before.
Besides it is the cheapest fix, and most of the time the cheapest fix is what was wrong ( not in my case ever though)

For the fuel filter, I use whatever they have, wherever I go. I would only buy a name-brand if I wanted it to sound cool. Like the PCV.
Imagine what my sig would look like.
I agree. Fuel filter for 5 bucks, if that doesn't do it, go after the pump/strainer. Sounds like you have another excuse to do that anyway. But before you do the extreme (tank drop) check your fuel pressure by the book.
