Need help... While cruising around in **** hole(Yuma), Azrizona my car started to act all weird. When I would stomp on the gas, it would go but it would hesitate. For example, RPM's would be at 3000 but will drop n seem like its struggling. A buddy of mine said it could be the fuel filter, so I changed it out & still got the problem. Help me out fellas I need the help!
Worst thing you can do is throw parts to it and "think" that the problem. Get it checked and diagnosed properly by someone who actually knows how to work a scanner. It can be a number of things that can make this happen, that's my .02

No but if it's dropping RPMS and hesitating it should throw a code.
Also check all vacum hoses and even your MAF make sure there is nothing blocking the air coming in, I don't see how that would happen but better to be safe than sorry. Check PCV and all lines going into the intake. Any mods to the car?

As stated earlier, check or replace all PCV and vacuum lines from valve covers, valley cover, TB, and intake manifold. Unfiltered, unmetered air can cause what you're describing, and it's easy to check and fix yourself.
