1) Ok, 2 weeks ago my car started hesitating and everybody said it was just dirty fuel injector. So, i put fuel injector cleaner in and the problem is solved, a few days later, the hesitation comes back. Now, i just cleaned the fuel injectors and its comming back, there's still some injector cleaner in the gas tank, wouldn't that still clean the injectors? Since i just cleaned them and it's comming back, is that the fuel filter going bad? or is there something else that i'm missin?

2) Just curious about a post i saw somewhere on the forums here, i saw some post that had a link to a site that you could send your car parts to get them powder coated and stuff like that, the only thing is i can't even begin to remember where i saw it. If anybody remembers this post, please let me know. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

1) Could be bogging do to an aftermarket intake that you (might) have??

2) Check your local yellow pages or ask around for powdercoating shops, they're pretty much everywhere and most do a good job. Ask around or post in your local forum to see who around you has the best price/reputation.

i do have an AEM cold air intake, but i've had that since december and i only recently had this problem. Would an intake take that long to start giving me problems? Besides, would the fuel injector cleaner temporarly fix the problem if the problem resides in the cold air intake? Are you sure it's not the fuel injectors? I'm not tryin to shoot down your explanation or anything, i'm just tryin to understand what's wrong with my car.

You may have a dirty MAFS. If it's dirty , carefully clean it and reset your car.

If it was the maf, would it bog out the entire time i drive the car? The only reason i ask is because it only does it on a cold start, when i warm the engine and drive it a while, it clears up; which is why i originally thought it was the fuel injectors. Ill take a look at the maf, is there a link on the site that had directions as to go about cleaning the maf? thanks again for all your help.
