Thanks Schurkey, I would love to have a real scan tool, but it's not in the picture for the time being. That is one of the reasons I still drive a 98 lumina.
I'm not too bad with electronics and understand when things are explained, that is what makes this forum so valuable to me. But I can see that their is a lot more to the hesitation diagnostic than just replacing a part. I really like to know the real problem. It makes me sleep better at night. A scan tool would really help but I will have to do without for right now. I do have a good dvom ,Fluke 87, and a cheaper Klien and an old analog meter. These are a real help. And I do have access to a scope, well i think I do. It would help on diagnostics in the garage, but as for traveling down the road when it happens. It wouldn't work so well, it's not portable.
For now, I'm hoping that this problem has happened before and someone might be able to focus me in the right direction, even give me their solutions to similar problem. It might just be that my problem is the same or close to the same.
Thanks again for your response. Wish me well.
Rex
