Possibly a secondary injector problem, but more likely a clogged cat.

What happens is the first precat fails and comes apart clogging the second.

More likely its a grounding issue, injector wiring grounding out will cause this. Pull off the ECU connector and ohm out each pin. Look for abnormal readings, refer to the FSM for help.

It sounds like the very common 3800 RPM hesitation. The most common cause is a bad ECU ground. See this writeup:

what condition are the injector wires in? if theyre cracked then they might need to be replaced. you can go to a junkyard and cut off the wires and plugs(leaving plenty of length) and splice them in.

Check injector wiring. Pull off the ECU connectors, figure out which are the injector wires from the FSM and ohm um out.
