I checked the engine codes and got:</p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: #efefef;">553 - Air management 2 circuit failure (AM1/TAD)</span><br style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: #efefef;" /><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: #efefef;">565 - Canister purge circuit failure</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: #efefef;">Apparently these are emissions related and will not affect the running of the engine, though I still plan to address them eventually.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Running out of leads I decided to replace some suspect vacuum hoses. They are certainly worn but looked mostly okay.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Anyways the is a tiny amount of flexible hose that joins the MAP to a hard air line. I replaced it. I am hoping this takes care of the hesitation but I am not holding my breath.</span></p>
<p>I also found some other cracked lines relating to the fuel vent lins. They are related to the canister purge solenoid. Again, not needed for regular operationg but replacing the lines may help clear those codes.</p>
<p>Only time will tell if this fixes the hesitation.</p>|||
