dude it so weird. the car hesitates when shifting from first to second under hard acceleration. and at times jerks a little when accelerating.

we have changed the following and problem still persist.
spark plugs
coil packs
wires
trac ecu
MAF

and still nothing. any ideas?

thanks

hey ed i changed the entire throttle body assembly with the 3 sensors and nothing, same jerking on any gear when accelerating past 3k. could this be fuel injectors? there is no leak but it feels like the car is holding back. it also feels very rough when you start pressing down on the pedal to accelerate
