Default 2000 S281 - SC Hesitation problem.

Little background... Car has 17k miles. The hesitation started right after i installed the TR6 spark plugs ( i gapped them to the saleen recommended gap... i think it's .52 or something like that) and I also installed the 75mm throttle body.

The hesitation is happening if you go Full throttle at any rpm... mainly low.. 2 or 3k. However if you acclerate slowly and then wot it around 4k or so... no problems.

Some other mods on the car are: Chicane pulley, intake,focus svtFP, 75mm throttle body,O/R H-pipe and some other minor thingies..

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks.

Thats your problem.....your gap should be no more than .32" but I would put them closer to .28" your stock ignition cannot fire the plugs with that much gap and your boost is probably blowing the spark out.....
