    reffering to holding back, mine was doing that also and it was my cat, it was all clogged and chit, so i ditched it and put a straight pipe in place of it and its ran great ever since.....although mine is quite a bit newer and with a different engine...99 3.8 camaro

      same with me my cat was bad and I wielded a new one in and havent had that problem since. Im 91% sure thats it, but if it isnt check Ure EGR...if tha check engine light is on cause of the hesitation Im sure you'll get a EGR failcode
      Drive it like I stole it

        I agree it's probably the cat. The holding back, and then taking off when you lift off the gas a little seem to be common symptoms of a clogged cat.

        So are we ever going to get to see signatures again????
