hesitation while driving? I am not sure if i am in the correct section but, while im driving, during giving gas the car hesitates like sort of like choking. For example it feels like im letting off the gas a little bit, but it happens when my foot is steadily on throttle. I use 93 octane, just did an oil change mobile 1 fully synthetic. Still hesitates while driving, any ideas?

If there are engine codes being thrown and setting off the SES light then get those checked out obviously, but assuming that isn't a problem, check some of the basic stuff like the air filter. How long has it been since you changed that, and how many miles are on your spark plugs? Does it hesitate a lot, like once a minute or once an hour?

hesitates a good amount of time especially when im giving extra throttle you really feel it lag. air filter is good, i have a check engine light on. Codes being thrown are P0410-secondary air injection malfuntion and P0418- Relay Air Malfunction

I'm sorry i know this is old but I hve something similar. Yes I understand this is old but I did a search and this seemed most like my problem as well.
Only happens when in WOT.
Happens in any gear.
Air filter is new and good all from SLP (just installed lid setup and bellow).
I will be in WOT and the rpms just kind of hover. It does not kick and jerk but it's like it loses 200 hp in a instant but you have the noise. The rpms do not drop but do not climb anymore as I still have the throttle pressed. Any clues? I do need to ceck the spark plugs but I just thought I should put this out there. Other than that this is a stock 99 Trans Am M6 (aside from the SLP lid setup and I have a descreened maf). Thanks!

When I had the maf off I cleand the metal quite well. Are you referring to the wire itself? I appreciate your help. Thank you so very much. I will try and take a plug off and look at it. This happened once at the track and now happens more frequently. Thank you.
