Hesitation.....

I noticed that I sometimes have some bogging off the line when I floor it or give it gas real quick. Engine kinda dies real quick and then picks up again and goes. Could this be because of my fuel pressure as well? I checked for codes and got nothing. Replaced the O2 sensor awhile back as well and everything looks in order. Just curious on what may cause this. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. Mostly happens when it is really hot out. Thanks.

Could be tired injectors or bad gas. Also tired ignition components could do it. Maybe it's time for a tune up?

I have done the tune up thing. Fuel Filter,cap/rotor,plugs,wires, etc. Maybe it is bad injectors.

I replaced mine and it still kinda does it off and on. Nothing changed. Someone told me that I need a heated O2 sensor. Something about my exaust flowing so fast that the O2 sensor doesn't have time to heat up or something to that nature.
