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?

99 3.0

 

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

 

hesitation to start or idle?

 

it starts fine, but then it hesitates right away

 

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

 

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

 

no CEL, would TPS throw the CEL?


and yea, it starts right up.

 

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.

 

^ what did you do to fix the tps?

 

the dealership replaced it for me

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

did you try searching for throttle position sensor

 

TPS* or throttle position sensor?
