Default Need your help!

I have a '98 Z (A4) with 107K miles on it. I just noticed today that from a dead stop, when I press the accelerator, the car hesitates for like a millisecond before taking off. Other than that, the car runs great. Any of you know what that might be? My buddy said it might be the injectors getting clogged...what do you guys think?

Injectors, TPS, something blocking air getting in the engine?

I cleaned the throttle body, but it still hesistates. Now I'm leaning towards the fuel injectors. How hard is it to take them out and check if they're clogged up? If you guys have any tutorials on how to remove them, please lend a hand.

Are you runing an oiled air filter like a K&N? Your MAF may be fouled. If you decide to clean it find MAF cleaner don't use anything but that.

You won't be able to visually see if anything is wrong with your injectors. Run a bottle of cleaner through and see if that helps.
