Hello My name is Chris, and my girlfriend has on 01 Limited currently 66k mi. Shes had it about 8 months now and so far so good, well except for the hesitation. Now on to the problem.

I have spent the last hour reading through a lot of threads about this same problem, but there doesnt seem to be any real conclusion.

About a month after she got it, it started to hesitate off idle. Being the car guy that I am, I did a complete tune up, new Champion platnum plugs, Mopar performance wires, air filter, oil change, and the detail it needed.

The hesitation never went away. A couple weeks ago she took her pt to walmart to get the oil changed and they damaged her car. being in the collision industry i have taken it upon myself to fix it.

I have been driving it back and forth to work and I cannot stand the hesitation. Its like it stalls off idle. then when it finally gets whatever it needs it takes off like a rocket. (with or without a\c on) no engine codes either. Its very jerky to drive, and very annoying!

I just changed the plugs and wires maybe 3k mi ago, the air filter is relitavely new, and we have tried runnig fuel system cleaner through and have gotten little results.

One of the threads I was reading had something to do with the timing belts being off. About a month before we got the car the timing belts were done, could this be causing my hesitation?

Every once in a while it seems like the car chokes and dies too.

It seems to me to be a fuel problem, but I have never known a fuel pump to work intermittently, it either works or it doesnt.

What the heck is the deal? Im so frustrated Im thinking about selling this POS!

On a side note I think I am going to modify the airbox to get more air tonight.
