my ls swap is doing the same thing right now, can't put a finger on it. My immediate thought was that it was fuel related so I purchased a new fuel filter, and ran some injector cleaner through it, but it's still there. Not sure. So I'm IN for this.

The problem is having a B16A. They're gutless.

check your timing, my distributor was retarded all the way when I purchased my car and ran like it was dead untill 3500rpm then it came to life. Then I adjusted it and it ran 10x better.

yea i know the b16's are quite gutless downlow ,

i have checked the timing twice , all timing marks line up perfectly , marks on the camshaft pulleys line up and so does the crank pulley , i mean if the timing was out , the car would not run very nice and u WOULD know if the timing was out , i personaly dont think the timing is out , its just hesitating down low ..! a TPS or MAP sensor mayB ...?
