Hey evryone! I have a 2000 camaro 3.8.. lately it was hesitating a lot when I would step on the gas so I had it checked out and it turned out to be the maf sensor.. replaced it and I'm still having the same problem! No codes come up... anyone have an ideas?? Thanks!

Right off I can think of the throttle body and butterfly valve need to be cleaned of all the carbon build up.  You can use a foam cleaner and a tooth brush.  Next thing it might be is the throttle position sensor, TPS, could be off or have a bad spot, (just guessing here). Then maybe fuel pressure, like a clogged fuel filter or old fuel pump.

Also, maybe the computer may need to relearn your real driving habits, give it a day or two.

The only item listed above would give you a code is the TPS. The other items will not. I have seen a bad TPS sensor with a code for something else.

It was the tps sensor  Grin.. I replaced my fuel filter too since its been about a yr since I've changed it out.. I commute 60 miles a day for school so it was bound to clog up. Thanks for the advice!
