    The dead spot issue sounds like an air/fuel issue. It may take some tweaking on a tuner to get it exactly right. Lots of people who put on different throttle bodies have this issue, and it can be remedied with a few tweaks.

    What kind of 02 sensor code are you throwing? Slow switching? I doubt very seriously that You o2 sensor code is a result of an improper tune. But could be a cause of your hesitation problem.

    i throw a p1133 code on a weekly basis. replaced the front O2 sensor earlier this summer. fine for a while, but now back to the codes, and diminished power. also throwing a p0300 (random misfire) on a monthly basis i would say.

    You can only do so much with a ''Off the shelf tune''.
