whats wrong with the car, what makes you think about the computer, my teachers does say this" crap in, crap out" if your computer is getting a bad input from anywhere, it is going to give you a bad out put, so first start with something else!!

It first started off by service engine soon light coming on when the car was hesitating. They ran the car trough the computer and it said something about the mass flow air sensor. I replaced it and then the car was good. Two weeks after, the same problem, car hesitation and service engine soon light on. I take it to another shop and they tell me bad mass air flow sensor, then it gets replaced again. a month after that the car does the same **** again and i take it to a shop and they tell me that it, and i saw that their computer said O2 sensor, Mass flow sensor, and map sensor and the trottle positioning sensor. I replace the O2 sensor and the map sensor and the trottle position sensor and the shop rewired my car. Now my car has started again to hesitate slowely, and the tranny began to shift hard and late when im goin. It feels good cuz i step on the gass and the acceleration is super fast but then when the next gear kiks in, its hard and i know its way late.

Help
