Hey guys, I'm probably just over thinking this, so maybe you can reassure me.

On my 96 FWD (see profile) I noticed a half second hesitation when I step on the gas from a dead stop. The car has been garaged all winter but I took her out the other day to wash her and I noticed it was significantly worse than before.

I put the current motor/turbo setup in about a year ago, and she always hopped a little before but now it almost feels like slack in the throttle cable, though there is none. I checked the tps with the multimeter and it's still calibrated properly, but I have a box full of them if I needed to swap. I have a 1g TB (intake bored to match), non cruise cable, emissions delete.
I was just looking for some input before I start screwing with her because it's cold as hell out and no heat in the garage.
