My symptoms are very similar to yours. Except, Texas has no hills. My hesitations also occur when driving steady in a low rev and then step on the gas for acceleration.

Yeah, in Dallas/Fort Worth, there aren't much hills. My wife's 92 max has the hestitation and engine stalling on cold start up in the cold mornings sometimes. And sometimes it has stalling issues when starting the engine after the engine is just starting to cool off after a long drive. This was just one of those random in's/out's. Does not do this all the time. But just the past couple of months, the Max will not spit and sputter and want to die when it is stuck in gridlock traffic! Almost feels like the engine is completely out of timing. No power at all. If you watch the engine RPM gauge, you only get idle speed around 600-700 rpm's and 4000 rpms even if the engine is not spinning 4000 rpms. The check engine light will even come on at that point. However I do not know how to pull the engine codes? How do you do this so if this happens again and check engine light is on, hopefully I can get a useful code to check into? When you pull over or able to make the trip home, and then turn off the max for about 15 minutes to let it cool off. Everything is normal again. No apparent problems. Other than that, if you are just driving steadily down the highway, the max runs fine.
I hope the codes are still stored on the computer and hopefully someone can tell me how to retrieve the codes on this 92 max. I have been thinking of changing the O2 sensor as this car is reaching 140k miles. Good thing is that my wife really takes car of the car mechanically. Engine still runs very strong like new!
Thank you for all your input!
