I had this annoying hesitation with my engine, it would buckle and studder all the time. I was a few days away from putting it on sale. Then I decided to try something today. I figured that the most likely 3 parts that are causeing it are the MAF sensor, Throttle body, or the O2 sensor. This morning I removed the MAF sensor only to find that there was so much oil stuck on the walls and in the intake tube. I cleaned the MAF sensor and the Throttle body was next. When I saw this thing, it was "man, how did I drive it like this?" Everything was black with carbon buildup everywhere and when you open the throttle plate, it would crunch the carbon and have trouble opening. I used STP Throttle Body and Air Intake cleaner ($1.99) and all the carbon dissolved and it was nice and chrome. I start the car and the problems are gone!! No more hesitation, buckling...nothing. I still have yet to change my O2 sensor so I'll keep it up to date. The only thing that makes me upset is that the CEL is still on. But the car runs like new.
