well first run a koeo/koer test......check for codes and there used to be a guy on here that anytime there was a thread with a hesitation as you described he'd say fuel tank baffle broke loose in the tank.[&:]......this surrounds the fuel pump to keep fuel around it so slosh doesn't occur allowing pump to draw air for a brief second.......just an idea not saying it's your problem just a possibility

thanks..ill run them tomorrow...i ran a test like 2 weeks ago and had no problems....i did a head swap about a month back...but come to think the car had this hesitation back before the swap...i was thinking maybe something with the injectors or possibly the pump...if i remember correctly i pulled a coed 96...might have been 95 dont know what it ment though
