Engine hesitation problem update
Well after all the different issues I was having with the hesitation and almost replacing my primary cats I ended up going to a muffler shop to insure that the cats were in fact bad before I ordered some new ones from JC Whitney. the guy found a tac weld on one of my heat shields and voila my noise stopped!!!
He did a check on the cats and said that he didnt think that my Cats were bad since they didnt make any noise anymore. So, I ended up going back to square one and FINALLY bought an OEM MAF for 470 bucks!! But, this ended up fixing my problem that I have had since I replaced the MAF with an Ebay one. The car runs perfect now and my gas mileage went from 13-14 city to 18.5 city!!! This baby runs smooth as hell again.
Thanks for all your help and its great to have my car back again!!
