have you checked your intake to make sure its sealed up right? i just redid my intake and forgot to strap the clamps and i had a hesitation in power.

Check for vacuum leaks! I changed plugs coil packs, and two sensors, still had problem. Finally took it in and it was a vacuum leak at the hose between the air cleaner and the throttle body which there is also a sensor. I noticed on the bottom of the box there was a crack/hole, so I covered it up with silver tape. That did not work. I was very close to fixing the problem myself, just that one thing I ignored. Runs better than it ever did. I love my GS 300
