My 94 firebird has a hesitation from when you are stopped and then lightly press the throttle to move up. It feels like it is going to die on me, but it doesn't. It only happens under light throttle. Other then that it's a strong motor. Is that just a thing a 3.4 does or is it bad? It has 133K on the motor.

Could also be the throttle position sensor on the side of the throttle body. You can test that with a multi-meter by testing for continuance throughout the throttle range.- Josh<br />If you have any questions or need installation pics/help, e-mail me: Viper98885@aol.com<br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/viper98885\" target=\"_blank\">\'93 Camaro Hardtop</a><br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/01lincolnls8\" target=\"_blank\">\'01 Lincoln LS8 Sport</a><br />\'00 Yamaha YZF-R6<br /><a href=\"http://www.ftpp.net\" target=\"_blank\">Full Throttle Performance</a>

I had a 3.4L w/ 130K miles on it and it started doing that as well... It turned out it was the catalytic converter. I let it go and it finally got so clogged that the exhaust started going through the EGR valve :( Have the cat checked out, if nothing else fixs the problem.\'97 Camaro 3.8L

Ya it started getting cold here too. Oh well it doesn't bother me that much, just get alittle bit more throttle. It always seems to help!2000 Firebird 3.8L, GU6, G80<br />Maple Red Metallic <br />And the rest is all stock.<br /><br />SOLD:94 Firebird 3.4L<br />Flowmaster 80 Series

would it help if he took off the catco and welded a piece of pipe in its place or does that hurt performance?<b><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/onebad9d5\" target=\"_blank\">1995 Red 3.4L Camaro</a><br /></b><br />Dont laugh if you see me pushing, no reverse, tranny needs rebuild.
