    Hesitation?

    I've got a 94 MGM, i just bought the car yesterday actually. There seems to be some hesitation when trying to take off from a.stop. The best way I can describe it, it seems like the engine doesn't know that i've pushed the pedal down at first then it realizes whats going on, and off I go.
    The only thing i've done so far is put a bottle of injector cleaner in the tank. Any idea what this could be? Throttle position sensor maybe?

    Could be many things, but the first thing that came to mind was a dirty TB.
    That can cause exactly what you're describing.

      X2, plus the whole freakin' intake. Clean the heck out of it I use Berryman B-12 instead of Seafoam because it's so much cheaper. Is it the same? Dunno. But when I pour it into the intake it smokes out the neighborhood, smells like firecrackers. Soot for the lose.

        just get like a throttle body cleaner spray, and spray it in the tb while running?

        Another thing, I don't know if its related or not. This morning when i started the car after it sat all night, it idled for maybe a couple seconds and stalled. It did it again when I put the car in gear. The only way to keep it running was to give it a little throttle, even at stops. Once the car warmed up it was fine.

          +1 clean out the TB and intake of the carbon buildup. carb/throttle body cleaner is your weapon of choice. follow the directions on the can and have a nice day. If that doesn't sort it, check tune-up items (plugs/wires).

            Some of the "newer" TB's have a "coating" and you are NOT to use carb cleaner. Not sure about the '94's but to be safe I would use the special TB cleaner that doesn't ruin the coating. Sounds like an IAC issue. Clean it out well or if you can afford it - replace it with an OEM IAC. Bobby

              I pour cleaner into the valve cover vent with the engine running as well as the TB cleaner.

              I don't add any to the oil and this guy used the brake booster hose:

              Agreed though Bobby maybe cleaning the IAC is a good idea too.

                  Clean the MAF too. Also, if it hasn't been done in living memory, change the fuel filter, check/change the plugs and the plug wires.
