Hesitation while accelerating
I have done everything from changing the master cylinder, bleeding the airlines, and even replacing and re-gapping all the spark plugs. When I am in gear and get to about 1800 rpms and roll into the gas to gradually accelerate I can feel it hesitate and go and then hesitate and then go. Meanwhile I am watching my rpms and mph and they seem to be meshing beautifully like they always have. I dont think it is a slipping clutch and it can be apparently in every gear. I have a new spec 3 clutch and slave ready at my disposal but I would like some more opinions than just throwing in a new clutch setup. I currently have an LS7 clutch but i dont know the mileage since I bought the car used. Anyone have any info? I was thinking maybe it's the torque curve of the cam kicking in but I dont know. It doesnt seem to be as apparent when i accelerate quicker and I wouldnt think I would be able to notice it considering I have 3.90 gears. Someone please help!

Kinda sounds like your going lean, do you have access to a WB? You said that it goes in and out, how fast does it go in and out? For a second at a time or a few times a second? How does it sound when this happens? Maybe you got some KR, you should scan that ho and find out.

Well spark plugs show normal wear. I'm running a Fast 90/90 if that makes a difference, would vacuum have anything to do with this issue? I guess this should be cancelled out as a clutch problem. Oh and to answer your question yes it kinda does it for a sec then goes away then comes back and goes away and it's gone. Why is it only doing it from 1700-2100 Rpms and not higher? It has been tuned but not while it was in my hands. Drove fine for a while and then ever since a launch it has been doin this. Got me fooled!

I would believe it was a tuning issue but why would it be fine for 3 months? I launched it out of the hole one day and ever since it hasnt been the same.and it does it regardless of temperature no more either way

You have a point there, why would it all of a sudden just appear. You might want to try resetting your PCM just for ***** and giggles. Maybe try unplugging the MAF and see what happens. Moving this to a different forum might get you some more responses also.
