strange hesistation

I am getting a very strange hesitation at 5000-5500rpms at HALF THROTTLE to 3/4 throttle. It does NOT appear to be present at WOT.

It seems to be running a little lean maybe? like loosing fuel. I'm not quite sure but it's all of a sudden, just kind of studders (than i back off the throttle and all seems normal), i just noticed it tonight as i was coming home on the usuall twisty roads in 3rd gear.

another sleepless in clearwater, eh? I work nights here in clearwater. Not sure about your prob, though, my vert runs pig rich right now. I can't even get 200 mi out of a tank of gas.

vacuum leak would be my first guess, actually, now that you mention the idle prob. That's where I would start.

Ok, i'm an idiot. A couple days ago i did the TB mod, removed BAC and EGR. and well. (dont laugh) forgot to plug the TPS back in! lol. strange that it ran fine all up until yesterday, than started acting up.

"She's ok now. Well, i've not driven her yet so we'll see"

P.S What happens when TPS is unplugged? codes? rich? lean? engine damage? lol
