when and what is actually happening???

90% of the time when there is a hesitation it is related to poor grounds on the motor, battery, coils, alt, etc.

Did you read the FAQ?

this is happening at the dreaded 4000 rpm range, i read the FAQ, but not really sure the locations of all grounds!! could that seized accuator be the problem!!

i cant take this car anywhere cos nobody i know or in the area works on them, except Mazda at $80 p/hr!! BS thats a rip off

Sure a 5th/6th port not opening could cause the hesitation, but it wouldn't get any better at higher RPM

The ECU is under the passengers foot panel, the CPU is mounted to the drivers kick panel. Two different buggers.

You will want to replace the engine grounds and battery ground first, then run a new ground for each coilpack if it still having problems, before messing with the ECU.

Use at least 8 awg wire for the engine grounds, but even 4 awg is better.
