Ok, I did a search but found nothing. It is a 2000 se auto 85k miles. Just replaced sparkplugs NGK , pcv valve, air filter, ran BG 44K, it has ses light on-code says it is running lean on both banks. I suspect a vacuum leak (hopefully not a intake manifold gasket). It has hesitated before but really bad today. Also wouldn't start so i got it jumped off and got a new battery, problem got really bad from then on. When throttle applied it acts like it is struggling and a couple seconds later it takes off. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? any help would be appriciated.

 

check the coil packs... almost always the coil packs...

 

could also be the VIAS or MAF

 

this sounds like the problem i had when my MAF was bad

 

same here...try a new MAF

 

I'm going to have to say the coils. I had the same problem and it was the coils but now I'm going to change my MAF. I'm having a similar problem again just not as bad.

 

Damn, looks like the MAF has been blowing out lately, for lots of us.

 

coil packs- our car experrienced rought idling sporatically went to the zone and got code pulled it was P1320. Ordered coil packs and installed - easy!! Car runs great!!! notice a lot more low end pull
