hesitation
i'm getting some hesitation in gears 2-5... it's intermittent - not sure how to describe. feels like a misfire but no codes thrown. dirty injectors? MAF?
engine otherwise runs well.
any thoughts on what to try first? i did reset the computer which improved the warm idle. plugs are of unknown age

I agree that dirty fuel injectors or MAF sensor belong on your suspect list & with the mileage on this ride, the TPS probably belongs on it too.

Did the problem come about after some event????
