I'll help how I can... but use this... it does work btw

First of all... series 4 or 5? Turbo or non-turbo?

Check your aux. port actuators (if you're non-turbo)
Do some grounding work (search)
Check your secondary injectors... might need to be cleaned as well.

Elaborate about the hesitation.... what rpm does it seem to go away, or does it stay under-powered the rest of the way to redline? If it stays kinda boggy, could be clogged cats (if you still have them, you gave NO information about your car.)

No prob man.

If you have some kind of thick grease... smear some on the 6 port actuators... and "smooth" it out so you can see if the actuators pulled down (smearing the grease)

Afterwards, clean the grease off... it'll just gunk up dirt and crap.
