when i acelerate slowly in 1st 2nd 3rd gear the car hesitates and studders a little especially over 3000 rpms once in 4th or 5th its fine, but its quite annoying and makes the car feel like a dog. did a compression check made 171,172,170,173 and changed the plugs twice bpr6es gapped at .28 abd bpr7es same gap, no diference , the car is completly stock, 14b stock computer 12 psi of boost, a friend suggested coil or ignition wires, could it also be the timing or cam angle sensor? bad injector or sticky valve, or maybe sticky throttle body, i will say every once and while the throttle cable gets stuck and i have to shut of the car and lubricate it a little but i dont think thats why, hope fully someone can try to diagnose, also it could be boost leak the car peaks at 12 and then falls to 8 psi isn i think vacuum or boost
, so maybe boost leak i like that answer, althougb i am running stock soft ic piping and side mount i do have a cheapo depo boost controller, i didnt think a boost leak would make a car hesitate wile accelarating, also i have the stock bov recirculated
