Default Throttle Hesitation

Hey guys,

My car seems to hesitate when I floor it from a dead stop( and when I say floor, I dont mean to race, just a spirited start) If I let go of the accelerator and then step on it it seems to "catch" the proper gear and off I go.

The only thing I have done is this

a) changed out the plugs and wires, this caused an issue with the throttle body(the rpms were very high, 2000 RPM when in Park). Changed out the throttle body, and now the RPMS are where they should be. But now I am experiencing this issue..


I read some where that I may have to clean out the MAF, but I wanted to hear everyones opinions first.

Thanks guys!

What kind of plugs did you use? It makes a world of a difference
