Over the last few days I have had a problem with the car hesitating. Funny thing is, it only seems to happen when I start the car after I parked it on a slope. Up or down. Its fine after I put it into gear. If I rev, it is fine until it gets into the lower RPM's again, and the hesitation comes back. Seems like it's not getting enough gas. Fuel pump maybe?

Fuel pump or fuel filter, if it's on a hill, sounds like fuel pump

hesitation to start or idle?

Smalls

it starts fine, but then it hesitates right away

Smalls

yea, damn. I changed the filter about 40k ago

AznX TL

i think black meant the pump and filter if it hesitates to start, have any cels?

I meant fuel pump if it was hessitating on start up especially on a hill, but this sounds more like your TPS

Smalls

no CEL, would TPS throw the CEL?


and yea, it starts right up.

AznX TL

no cel........i had a tps problem, except mine would die when i put it in gear or driving. in neutral or park it would be ok most of the time.

Smalls

^ what did you do to fix the tps?

AznX TL

the dealership replaced it for me

Smalls

where is the TPS on the 3.0?

My car does the same thing to me. It rumbles awkwardly then after i put it in drive its fine.

Smalls

exactly. Its always started in a real low RPM. But I give it gas or put it in gear, and the rpm's go up and stay up. But it's never hesitated like this before.

It's on the throttle body i believe

search it it's been talked about a lot

Smalls

yea, I've been searching alot. Shit son, I'm OG. Its hard though, because TPS is too short of a term to use.

AznX TL

did you try searching for throttle position sensor

TPS* or throttle position sensor?
