Search the code in the search feature, and there will be post that says "The dreaded P0300 code" I skimmed over it and it looks like it could be your o2 sensors or the spider assembly, check it out.

this sounded like a carbon copy of what mine was doing. pull the distributer and check the gear on it for wear. mine had alot of slack in the teeth causing the dreaded po 300 code. i changed the distributer and it has ran great eversence

Default problems as always

its me again, well ive done all the cheaper routes and well lets say its slowly getting better. the other day my boss noticed that i didnt have a driverside brakelight, and well i tried changin the bulbs, wasnt them so i started to look at the fuses in the car and under the hood i had 2 that were blown under the hood so i replaced and drove home and well 90% of the hesitation was now gone but still no brake light on driverside and only hesitates when cold, or moisture is in the air and at high highway speeds like 70mph. so does any one have any ideas, and also what kind of muffler would give a nice beefy sound if i was going to upgrade that.

Mine would hesitate too,it was the icm. As for the exhaust, you can't go wrong with a flowmaster 40 series.

*Combining threads on the same topic from the same author* More of the story can be read towards the tail end of the Misfire and Stall, No Codes thread which goes back a ways...

Ok, lets get back to basics here. Please respond with a detailed description of the misfire/hesitation problem, a detailed list of what you have done to try to cure the problem (and why you chose to do each item on the list), and any other pertinent information you can supply (codes, etc). As always, please provide your vehicle information somewhere in your post requesting help!

Concerning the brake light problem, the bulb socket(s) could be corroded badly. Have a look down in the socket and see if you can clean up the contacts. Test with a test light for power when the headlights are on as well as when the turn signal is on or the brake pedal is pressed.
