hesitation... is this because I'm not flashed?

[UltimaGT]

Well I consistently get hesitation around the 3,500k-4,300rpm range, it's hard to pinpoint, but this isn't under WOT, which I understand is the symptom of a non-flashed vehicle, and since I'm the 2nd owner of this vehicle I kinda presumed that it was flashed. Is this a lack of the flash or something different? Any suggestions before I take it to the dealership to get looked at?

get your car flashed.

It's a debated issue. To Flash or not to flash. I have seen this happen in a MSP with a A/F Gauge, it goes lean for a second and that is when the hesitation happens. Re-Set the ECU by unplugging the Positive side for Ten minutes...Try that first...

Try resetting your ECU first like brian said. I am unflashed but recently my hesitation got ALOT worse, my car would just bog down and not want to spool. I reset the ECU and I now am back to having hesitation I can live with (well hesitation I would rather fix some other way than the falsh)

i was hesitant at first as well. but finally couldn't take the hesitation anymore. got the car flashed and loved it. instant free gratification.

Well then, If the reset fails, Flash it is I guess!
