My 01 wagon started to hesitate today while i was driving with 2nd-4th gear about 1500-3000 rpm at constant speed. the idle is fine. while car in neutral, it seems to be fine when i kept the rpm at 1500-2500.
I had the the fuel pump/ fuel filter replaced about 2 years ago and fuel filter 1 year ago. i also check that harness which seems to be OK.

thanks.



any suggestion?

pretty sure that fuel filter should be replaced at least once a year. I'd check that out 1st since its a 20 min job and you can pick up the part at most CT's.

I am probably wrong though...

hum... i only had about 40k after fuel pump recall and about 15k after last fuel filter replacement. they go out that fast? and i notice the fuel consumption is getting worse now. half a tank only gets about 180km.

appreciate all of your suggestion :lol:
