• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Hesitation problem

I'm a new Regal GS owner. I've had my GS for a couple of weeks now and sometimes it will start acting like it's not getting enough fuel during all types of driving, slow cruising and fast. It's not a sputtering or missing, but it just dies. The motor doesn't actually kill. It doesn't happen every time I drive it. It's really random happening more often during part throttle driving. I've changed the plugs, wires, fuel filter and swapped the MAF sensor from my sons car for a short drive, none of which solved the problem. I actually thought the problem went away because it hasn't happened the last several times I drove it, but it came back today for 10-20 seconds when I was getting on the freeway, and then was fine after that. Could it be an electrical problem related to the instrument panel lights not working?? (which a new headlight knob/switch did not fix) It was doing this before I put on a CAI and has done it since the CAI.
 


Do you have your maff de screened? I had an issue with that for awhile.
