hesitation when engine under load!! ok guys i am going to try to explain this as clear as possible! when ever i am driving and my car is under load, the car will begin to bog, like when i am in 5th gear 1,500 rpm and i give it some gas the shifter begins to shake a bit and the car will hesitate and it feels like there is no acceleration! but the top end is ok, it still pulls up top!! i have recently gutted my cats thinking that would be the solution but still dident do a thing!! but i remembr sometimes the it would bog like really bad to the point i needed to downshift to accelerate!! i recently also change my drivers side front o2 sensor due to po171 and po131 running to lean and low volts. i also changed the seal on the egr to intake pipe and my fuel filter was changed 6,000 miles ago!! i am going crazy and dont know what the hell the problem is!!! i was also recommended to change the passenger side o2 sensor as well to mak sure thats ok, but i will be checking my fuel pressure soon! to mak sure the pump is not the problem!! but please guys i really want to figure it out! i am not driving my car because i am angry bout the whole situation!! so thanks alot for any input!

i have also noticed that before when i used to open my engine oil cap, the rpm would go down a little! but now when i open the oil cap there is no differance, no change in rpm! does that mean i have a vacum leak???

I had the same problem. And it ended up being some bad gas that fouled up my plugs. My plugs only had 15k miles on them. And changed the fuel filter around the same time. Once I put the plugs on I also motorvact it and it runs like a champ now. Good luck!

the shop said that its my #4 coil!! because the hesitation is worse when its cold, and smothens out when it gets warmer! do u guys think the coil has got a little weak and lost its energy??

i talked to my auto instructor and he told me it could be also a cracked intake manifold! and he said a coil can definently get weak thats a possibility
