It is turning out to be an EGR prob causing the low power climbing hills but the slight shudder is here to stay. I have driven a 95 Park Avenue Ultra today quite a bit and it does the same thing. Mine was keeping the EGR open under boost and blowing hot EGR gases through the supercharger. It'* supposed to close the valve but it wasn't closing. I bought a new valve to try. I will report the results.

The car is going in next Weds. to be scanned and troubleshooted. I threw in the EGR idea and one of the mechanics said they will test the EGR and o2 sensor because if anything, the computer will throw a soft code of "Lean" or "Rich".

You know what, I found out what is causing the hesitation, but I dont know why!
Its whenever I turn on the ECC (electronic climate control)...new alternator and optima battery so I'm not sure whats up now...maybe my MSD wires took a crap.

I can take pics this weekend for ya Bill, but allow me to quickly describe.
1.) Small rubs that go a few mm into wire from not using wire holders for many months.
2.) One (maybe more) boot is visably bent from continuous improper installation.
3.) I dont think the stock wire holder on the front head is made to handle 8.5mm wires, I had to use some force to squish them in there...possible damage.
The end of my sad sad story.
