My motor ca18det is hesitating… The car is fine untill i drive it for a while. Then i get all kinds of bucking from the car untill i hit 3 thousand rpm or the turbo starts to spool. I was driving down yellowhead tonight and when im in 5 doing the speed limit im just under 3 thousand rpms, the car bucks hard. This all started happining last night. So i tightend all inter cooler pipes, checked and tightend down the sparkplugs. But it still is doing this. Any ideas? ---

might be fuel related ? change your fuel pump possibly … I would have suggested intercooler piping as I have had some weird issues coming back to a loose clamp somewhere ---

Mine lets off a humm that is very noticable. Every aftermarket pump does. ---

have you checked your CAS and TPS lately? I had a similar problem, it was the TPS throwing wacky numbers to the ECU. Only happened on slight throttle (cruising). ---

I was experienceing the same problem, it turned out the timing needed to be advanced and its been fine ever since. Although yours does sound like more of a fuel related issue, either way, good luck. ---

well the problem went away… I have no idea what was the problem it just has not come back yet… I changed my gas station to shell from esso… I dont know if that had anything to do with it but im planning on buying a in line fuel pressure guage and replacing the fuel filter. Will let you guys know and thanks for the help… ---

sounds like a bad tank of gas (knock + timing retardation) which feels like hesitation. ---

Ok so this problem keeps on coming back now and then. I put an in line fuel guage and its reading 30psi is this the right pressure i should be getting out of a walbro 255 at idle… ---

Mine reads 40psi at idle, but there may be differences between SR and CA. ---

This is awesome i posted this same problem on nicoclub like a week ago and no one could help, now this. :E Anyways i am having the same problem in my CA but it all started last week. I was driving along the motor starts to sputter/chug/hesitate, however, it does not drop revs and only at 2500-3000rpm. First of all i had just rewired my detonation sensor, replaced plugs, and installed a manual boost controller, everything was still 55 even with an increase to 10psi. 2 days after the increase in boost this starts to happen, it also happens when im on or off the boost. While i suspect a possible fuel pump problem (fuel filter was replaced 8 months ago when i bought the car) i still think it could be the fuel pump. But if it was the fuel pump wouldn’t it be crapping out at full throttle only?
