I recently had intermittent hesitations / bucking regardless of rpm, which became less intermittent as the weeks went by. My tps was faulty. You can see if yours is had it by wiring up a multimeter onto the throttle sensor input of the ecu, and getting a passenger to watch the voltage and see if it spikes up and down all over the place during the hesitations. Mine dropped to 0v whenever a buck occured. Pin inputs of the ecu can be found in the manual at www.iluvmyrx7.com

A new tps here in aus is about $300, which would be about $150 u.s I guess.
