I've already pulled it out. It is the new model that they show in the pictures. It even looks brand new. I took it apart and everything. I'm thinking whoever owned the car before had already replaced it.

I started to think it was a vac leak, but that doesn't make sense if it doesn't hesitate all the time. I know the gaskets on the intake plenium and the TB are good, because I just changed my plugs and wires, those looked brand new. My plugs even looked new, but I changed them anyway.

I don't know what else is left. My timing belt squeels sometimes when it's wet, but I don't think that is a problem. It doesn't look like it has cracks or anything in it. So, I kinda want to rule out timing issue.

Could possibly be a fuel filter problem, but I have a feeling that if the person before me already did the 120K tune up, then that should have been changed. I bought it at 124K it now has 125K miles on it now. I'm almost thinking it'd be the ECU. But I really cannot go without a car while I send it somewhere to get rebuilt.

Dammit!
