Question needs to clear its throat

I have a 1995 F-150 4x4 with a 351 FI ,When you pull out or when you are just sitting and you ease on the throttle it acts as if it clears it throat and then it goes on it seems to be al ittle dirty some where ? but when you florit no problem but be ready to go .I was watching horsepower tv a while back and they had the ram off a ford and I just caught the last part but they were spraying some part to stop the hesitation but you know it I didnt get to see that part does any one have a clue?

Probaly was the throttle body , could be that it got dirty and was messing up the flow of it.

What part are ya calling the "Ram"

Your not thinking of the one they are cleaning the MAF sensor on that explorer they where tuning up are ya?

That stops em from surging, doesn't cure hesitation and your truck doesn't have one.

fouled plugs, clogged air filter, bad ignition wires, dirty throttle body could all cause what you are describing.

either you, or a mechanic, should do a tuneup and check the codes.
