Could be the MAF sensor for the 2nd problem. Try cleaning it but dont touch the wires

well syncros arnt too bad but for someone to put them in its a hassle. just be easy on your 3rd gear and it will last for a good long time... just drive hard in your gears and shif slow into 3rd then haul ass again

**Firebirdformula** · 03-04-2009, 02:28 PM

are you sure its the mass air flow sensor? what else could make it hesitate around half throttle

fuel filter as well.

**Firebirdformula** · 03-04-2009, 05:23 PM

ok it is jus weird bkuz i =t doesnt do it as hardcore as sometimes like sometimes if i floor it it bogs down and then slowly slowly slowly accelerates ....i hope its the maf

**02WS6dream** · 03-05-2009, 12:53 PM

like mentioned; how long has it been since fuel filter was replaced? Easy, cheap, and often overlooked--and solved a very similar problem I once had with my t/a.

**Firebirdformula** · 03-05-2009, 02:34 PM

realy? what problem was you having? are the filters inline? or in the tANK?

**02WS6dream** · 03-05-2009, 09:16 PM

Filter is inline--if i remember correctly its just behind the driver's door inside the frame rail; you'll find it. Mine had hesitation issues that climaxed when it hung while in the middle of a pass at like 85 mph--very odd feeling--raced up to that speed, mid pass, just hang at an rpm for a bit then accelerated again. clogged up fuel filter...like 15-20 dollar part i believe it was.

**Firebirdformula** · 03-06-2009, 04:39 PM

ok thx bro....it seems like that might be it.....i noticed i havent ben gettin goood as gas mileage lol......but ummm i jus cleaned my maf sensor which was black as hell so hopefully that will do sumthin lol.....
