[BiturboS4] RE: more hesitation... after a cold start..

[Bill Coleman]

Only problem is...

I don't know which of the parts they replaced actually
fixed the hesitation problem!

But they did say the codes stopped after replacing the
throttle body (not the boot, the throttle body itself).  As
I remember, the MAF was giving bad (low) readings,
which caused the ECU to lean out the mixture, which
caused the engine to knock, which caused the ECU
to back off the timing - which could lead to hesitation?

I just threw it out as a possibility, but maybe it will solve
some of the problems you've all been experiencing.
