Re: HESITATION??????????????? (dpd)
This may seem like an IDIOT check but,,,, when it does the HESITATION thing take a quick look at the DIC and see if it says "traction control active" or something like that!!!
If it is, your Body Control Module is applying the brakes!! I let a friend of mine drive my 98 a little crazy once and he thought that the car was a dog and I thought he was driving like a sissy! It took us a while to realize that the Traction Control was in normal and the traction control was kicking in! :crazy:
My 02 ZO6 has "COMPENTITION MODE" which allows me to blaze the rear tires but keep the stability by using the "Active Handling" mode
If you want to get real crazy, just turn both to off!!! :crazy: :crazy: :thumbs: :thumbs: :D I love to draw pretzles in the parking lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Hi . Did you do any mods to the intake system?
If its an auto trans- try driving in D3 while under 50mph. That may help.
at slow speed autos tend to shop around for the right gear for your speed.
good luck :seeya
