Thread: Hesitation problem

I'm a new Regal GS owner. I've had my GS for a couple of weeks now and sometimes it will start acting like it's not getting enough fuel during all types of driving, slow cruising and fast. It's not a sputtering or missing, but it just dies. The motor doesn't actually kill. It doesn't happen every time I drive it. It's really random happening more often during part throttle driving. I've changed the plugs, wires, fuel filter and swapped the MAF sensor from my sons car for a short drive, none of which solved the problem. I actually thought the problem went away because it hasn't happened the last several times I drove it, but it came back today for 10-20 seconds when I was getting on the freeway, and then was fine after that. Could it be an electrical problem related to the instrument panel lights not working?? (which a new headlight knob/switch did not fix) It was doing this before I put on a CAI and has done it since the CAI.

Nope, the screen is there.

Do you ever hear a quick ppfffftttt type sound? kinda like air getting sucked in. my car does this exact same thing and i hear the same sound everytime it happens

Haven't noticed any sounds....but I'll listen for something next time it happens.
