    Hesitation Problem

    Ok, well it seems to run fine when cold, then when it gets warm (around operating temp.) it will hesitate under heavy throttle for a few seconds, then will just haul ass (power comes back) then it will do it again under heavy throttle, it was popping/hesitating/bucking, and we timed it and put a stock thermostat back in it (was 160) and it seems fine now except for the hesitation, so far ive tried all of this:
    -egr valve
    -o2 sensors
    -iac
    -timing
    -tstat
    -compression test (was fine)
    -plug wires (msd s/c 8.5mm) (said to be good, but im not sure)
    -plugs(said to be good, but im not sure)
    -coil(said to be good, but im not sure)
    anyone know what could be causing this hesitation?
    help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    a miss in one of your cylinders, do you have any way to scan it?

    check your wires, plugs, and all that stuff your not sure about.

    ive checked for arcing and did not see anything, and yes i have 1-2 wires that have rubbed on the header and have white burns on them and you can see the inside of the wire, so i bought msd s/c 8.5mm wires and put them on and it didnt help the pop/bucking problem so i took them back (lol), but the pop/bucking is gone and now it just hesitates.. so idk what is wrong..

    well, now this morning my car is popping again like the timing changed, could this mean that my distributer gear/ distributor itself is probably bad?

    and another thing, should the rotor in my dizzy move at all when the car is off and trying to turn it by hand, because mine moves a little, and i dont know if that is normal or not??
