38k Hesitation ??'s
ok so i went through the FAQ's and i saw that this problem is most likely due to poor ground connections and/or fuel injectors. But this problem just started yesterday and it happened to me twice, so i just got a couple ?'s.. 1. The hesitation happened once when i was in 1st gear and again when i was in 3rd so can the hesitation happen in any gear? 2. When it hapened the car bogged down to about 1k rpm's and then shot back up all the way 7500 rpms, the rev buzzer beeped then the car died...

No, the situation you've described in #2 is NOT a normal 3800rpm hesitation.
The typical hesitation will appear as a burp while plowing through the revs, or pause in acceleration around 3800. It doesn't bring the motor to idle rpms, then redline. I'd suggest checking/cleaning some of the grounds on the engine and inspecting the secondaries. Are they of known condtion? |

oh yeah it's an na gxl... i noticed the 38k after i posted.. but anyway i didnt think the revving was normal. Thats why i posted but, yeah i drove it all day today and it was fine. i've kept it under 3500 rpm's when driving so the 5th/6th ports stay closed, so maybe that may be where the problem is, since it hasnt happened since. I also noticed today the voltage meter on the dash will gradually drop as i take my foot off the gas pedal, but never under 8v.. when im on the gas it stays at constant 13v.. could that be tied in w/ the problem? but im hoping after re-grounding the car will run like a champ again..just wishful thinking anyway

Do your lights and stuff get dim when it drops? That's a bit odd. I had an alternator do that but it would go past 13v the higher I got. It sure as hell made my lights really bright around 5k rpm's though!

no thats the wierd thing all my electrics were still on when the car died.. radio, dash and headlights! It wouldnt turn over the first couple of tries like it was flooded or somethin, but then after maybe a minute it fired right up

It's not the 3800 rpm hesitation. At first, it sounded like a boost related fuel cut-off, which is why I asked if it was a turbo or not. It sounds like you either have a clogged fuel filter, a shitty pump, or maybe your exhaust is clogged. If you hammer the throttle and it stalls, but go up slowly and it doesn't, that sounds like a fuel delivery problem to me.

ill look into that as well... i thought it was the 3800 because it happened right around 3800, but that might have been a coincidence. Just to confuse me a little more

Check your pulsation dampener if you get the chance, it's a common failure at this stage in these cars' lives and can cause engine fires <---BAD So yeah, check that out, hopefully you won't have to go out of your way to do so. It may be a little more accessible on the NA FC's.
