Need help!! Feel a slight hesitation in 1st

As the title says I'm feeling some slight hesitation in first gear. It takes off fine, then feels as though I take my foot off the gas (falls on it's face) for a split second before hitting the power curve again. Feels almost like its a tune issue but can't say for certain. Any help would be appreciated!!

Is it happening in first gear, or after the shift from first to second?

Almost choked on my coffee. Somebody should try and help, he may have a real problem. Turn off the traction control, does the problem go away?

Try the Sneaky ECU reset-The ECU learns from your driving habits over time and needs to get re-booted. This process sets the ECU and I beleive the TCU back to the original factory settings. I do it every once in a while when I get hesitation. Works like a charm every time...it is discussed in a couple of threads.....
  • Turn Ingnition to "On", but do not turn over engine-Last postition
  • Depress Gas pedal to the floor-Hold 5 seconds
  • Turn Off Ignition
  • Release Gas pedal
  • Wait 2 minutes and the ECU and TCU are re-set
