Yeah I'm the one who posted that. I never saw any oil. All I hear is someone say "the ice fall out?". Not sure where I got proved wrong. If I remember I did say he could turbocharge it, and power would depend on setup.

cwj82052, I would recommend as carguy_z28 did, changing the fuel filter as well.

Yes, that can also be the problem... Its hard for me to tell without hearing and feeling what its doing... But an O2 sensor will usually cause the heasitation all the time while trying to accelerate, not just when giving it hard fuel...

we were trying to stear him away from turboing a 3.4, its NEVER a good idea, itll just lead to catastrphic failure in the end...

Yeah, make sure you change it once every 3 oil changes ok? Thatll cause rough idle, loss of power, poor starting, and a bad bog as well... all from one stupid lil part lol

I took the car out today and the problem is still occuring. It is when i give it a good amount of gas it tends to stay at the same speed and my car will lightly shake . BUt if i slowly accelerate it is fine.would a oxy sensor have anything to do wiht this?

that could be... ****, id have to feel it, when did you change the plugs last? Id check the wires too, Im leaning towards the wires, what year is your car? Id go get it scanned... I dont want to tell you wrong info, its hard to guess online, Id have to drive it to tell...Is there any way you can video tape it for me? Or if someone else reading this and has had the same prob, chime in any time...
