OK, raise your hand if you thought the hesitation problem was a CAT that was disintegrating internally. I needed to get it smogged now anyway and I just barely passed HC two years ago so I figured a new CAT was in the works. After he told me I consulted the Google and sure enough, there are opinions that say such a CAT will lead to hesitation and surging, which is exactly what I had.

He said the new cat was an improvement but still not perfect. He had to put in a T connection with nipple on the fuel line in order to test the pressure. He said it was only at about 6 or 7 and it needs to be 13. New fuel pump. Runs ideally now.

While the tank was out he looked it over for crud, said it looked pretty good. Took out a few bits of something.
