Does this factor into the milage I'm getting? Will it get any better? I also get a hesitation (or hicuup) when slowly accelerating from a standing start. Any ideas what could be causing this?
mileage will get slightly better... best way to gauge it, literally, is to get a boost gauge and keep it on the vac side as much as possible.

the hiccup is most likely the plug/wires combo. stockers are not good. get a good set of replacements and lower the gap on your plugs to about .04-.045

good wires: msd, crane
good plugs: ngk, denso
