Default hesitation when under torque
When I hit the gas and accelerate, or when i'm going up a hill, the motor has a pretty severe hesitation. It reminds me of running out of gas, but I have checked the fuel pressure and it remains constant the entire time. There are no codes either. If anyone has some ideas, that would be helpful.

If the fuel pressure is ok and their are no codes, maybe try looking at your MAF and giving it a good cleaning

Get some MAF cleaner from your local parts store and spray it on.

Do you have a K&N or oiled air filter?

Do you have a K&N or oiled air filter? That may have led to your problem. If so, it could come back.
