Whats the problem ?

I have a hesitation or a lack of power as soon as I start engaging the clutch. Then all of a sudden, the car jumps and everythings fine. Its just for an instant, everytime im engaging the clutch. Almost reminds me of a vacuum issue. Car revs fine in neutral. I replace all PCV lines and the valve. EGR is deleted and AIR...Headers, Mild Cam, and FIPK. Any ideas whats causing the initial blaah ?

Does it happen in every gear while engaging it....or just first to take off?

Did this just start happening out or nowhere...or was that hesitation getting worse over time?

Sounds like a clutch issue...if it revs fine in nuetral.

It is just now noticable I guess.....Clutch is 4 Months old......I was letting the RPMs get low as I was driving slowly in 2nd gear earlier and it was struggling to get back to a normal increase in RPM. Its like theres a threshold when everything goes back to normal. Initially, I was having a high Idle; last time, it was a vacuum leak, so this time I replaces the PCV valve, and housing, and ditched my makeshift catch can. I actualy gained noticable horse power and my idle problem is fixed but now im having the bogging down at low rpm.

And twice, for a split second, its been fluttery with an unresponsive pedal....like a carburator flooding...then it snaps my neck when it straightens out.

Only codes are O2's. In any gear at a low RPM, I can give it gas and the car just flutters like its flooding out. Runs strong at higher RPMS. Last thing I did was replace the PCV Valve before this was really noticable. I also ran a day or so without the MAF plugged in on accident. Ive chased everything...cant figure nothing out.
