Hello,
My car lately has been hesitating under a load, but when i drive normal its fine, but say if I'm on the highway and i hit the gas to pass some one it kinda pops and shakes but if i hit the gas harder then it goes away. At first i was thinking it was my trans, but right now I'm not to sure, car was running awesome then we got a couple warm days here and that'* when it started. If any one has any ideas or need more info please let me know.
Thanks

Still havin the same problem. but i noticed that when it happens i can smell my exhaust(rotten eggs) so my guess is that my o2 is bad and it wiped out my cat...any other ideas or info.
New plugs and wires don't mean squat. Let'* get those plugs out and see what they look like. Post a closeup pic of them, and keep them in order so you know which came from which cylinder.
I had a similar issue recently, would hesitate under load and mine wouldnt rev past 3k under acceleration. I did a wire replacement with Belden premiums and i found that there was rust on the connections between the coil packs and wires.
I know theres a small chance that this is your problem, but it wouldnt hurt to check
good luck.
