everytime i accelerate from a stop, i will experience a "miss" or hesitation at around 2-3K rpm, but when going WOT throttle or just idling, i dont experience any hesitation of any kind. i am throwing no codes and all my maintenence is up to date and no other major problems besides the hesitation. any help would be great. thanks.

 

Check your KS and see if its cracked in half.

 

most likely knock sensor...i gotta change mine tooo

 

if the KS is faulty....wont the check engine light come on?

Also checked my codes 3 weeks ago......no sign of faulty KS


the car feels a little sluggish...could it be that my KS is going?

 

Do you have a Intake in your car?

 

i had the same problem for 2 years....turned out to be my wiring harness. i replaced every sensor under the sun and nothing helped. eventually the wiring harness got so bad that it started stalling. good luck

 

KS is a ghost code, which is a stored code that doesn't trigger a CEL light. You can have a cracked KS and still not get an 0304 code.

 

my knock sensor is pretty new, it has maybe 6K miles on it

yes, i do have a intake, well...a cone filter w/ stock mid-pipe

 

Do you have an automatic or manual transmission?

If you have an auto, then 2-3K is the range in which it upshifts during normal (gentle) acceleration. Does that "miss" or hesitation occur during an upshift?

 

i have a manual and the hesitation occurs when accelerating through 2-3K RPM and in most gears
