distributor did not work, any other suggestions. I am going to have the cat checked tomorrow to see if it is backed up.

^^^are you kidding I have $1500 in to the damn thing and it still does not run right!! What would cause hesitation after the car is warmed up, this only happens in 3rd 4th or 5th gear and you can really feel it when you are on the freeway.

Im still thinking your fuel pump is beginning to crap out. Check your alternator. You should have tested everything before buying any parts. Good luck.

^^^I figured the dealer knew what they were talking about. I'll have the fuel pressure checked and let you know, thanks for your help line 7 I really really appreciate it.

ok I figured this out today, the car runs fine with the Check engine light on. I gutted the cat and the CEL came on and the car runs fine. When I shut the car off the light went out and the car ran like crap I unplugges the 02 sensor to throw the light on and it ran great, so I currently have the 02 sensor unplugges with the CEL on and it runs great. So is it the 02 sensor of the ECU?
