Thumbs up I gotta tell ya...
After nearly a year of chasing a hesitation gremlin, I now have my '91 Turbo II running flawlessly. The car was losing power for short moments at a time all over the rpm band. I replaced the water thermosensor...and that was it. The car idles at 750, and pulls all the way to redline with no hitches. I hope this post doesn't jinx it...

How did you diagnose this?&nbso Did you scan ECU error codes?&nbsp Bad water thermo sensor should've tripped a code easily...

Hmm..maybe what is wrong with my car. Does the check engine light go on when codes are tripped always? Or is it supposed to at least?
