Hesitation

gotime89 · October 12th, 2007, 01:08 AM

my car has been having a hesitation problem most of the time in between the 1800-2300 rpm range it hesitates and backfires then it clears up when i press the gas harder and goes back to normal the idle also sometimes sticks and it happens in 3 4 and 5 gear i also just changed the iac any ideas.
