2k hesitation (TPS??)
This is getting really annoying.
Often when accelrating at a pretty normal pace, the engine will just completely stop revving and it feels like i hit a brick wall. This happens for a second and then suddenly it catches and surges foward again. Ive had the 3800 hesitation, and this feels more violent. Its like the engine drifts off to sleep for a second and then suddenly wakes up.
This usually happens in 1st or 2nd gear or 5th gear, but I presume this is only because those are the only times the RPMs get that low. It also sometimes happens when I suddenly floor it higher in the RPM range around 5k.
I have tried adjusting my TPS multiple times. I think there may be a dead spot. When I first start opening the throttle the readings dont change and then all of a sudden they do. So Im guessing my TPS is effed now.
Help?

Check your plugs and how rich your cars is running. My car had that problem and I basically just changed the plugs. Oh when was the last time your fuel filter was changed, that was also my problem.
