Hesitancy

It's kinda wierd, I don't know a whole lot about my FD, so maybe you guys can help?

When I'm driving, sometimes there is a "hesitancy" when I give the car gas. Right around 2000-3500 RPM. And other times, I'll just be driving at 2000 RPMand the car will kind of "stutter". Do you guys know what the problem could be? Is it serious?

Thanks,
Wolf50000

check your ground wires, they might either be loose or you might just need to sand down the contact points.

If you have the stock ecu, that is just the infamous 3k hesitation.

It randomly affects FDs of all 3 years. People have done various things to try to fix it, but there has never been a consistent fix developed. For some people, improving the grounding has fixed it, for other people, replacing the fuel pump resistor has fixed it. No set pattern....

The only way to get rid of it for sure is to install a stand-alone ecu like the Apexi Power FC.

For me was a fuel filer that fixed the hesitation.
