This car has just started hesitating. The problem is most noticible during sudden hard acceleration from a stop. The engine actually feels like it is running rough short 1 cylinder for a second or two and then full power resumes. The car has good pep at all speeds except hard sudden acceleration from a stop. Punching the gas and releasing to quick rev the engine in neutral also produces a slight hesitation some times. I've changed the fuel filter and air filter and am running gumout injector cleaner through the gas tank now. The car has 200,000 miles on it. The timing belt was replaced about 30,000 miles ago. The Check Engine light is off and there have not been any codes in the computer. What could be going on here?
