don't know just bought it. I'm pretty sure it's an ignition problem and not a fuel problem.I am going to pull the plugs and check their condition and go from there. I was just hoping someone else had been through this and knew something easy to check or fix so that I don't spend alot of time and money trying to fix it.

I had the issue also. It started as a small hesitation when I was heavy on the gas. Slowly became so bad I could not get above 55mph without it cutting out. It turned out to be so much oil in the spark plug holes it would ground out the plugs to the heads <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. Mine was driver side, but it could be either. I replaced the spark plug tube seals, it fixed my problem.
Good Luck <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
