dont know much about these engines and dont want to go messing with stuff and have it not work at all. car runs sweet at normal road speed, but idles rough and seems to have major hesitation when attempting to speed up. plugs all look good (replaced not so long go) if a little white (running lean?)

the throttle body was full of crud, so ive cleaned it out and it runs a little better, but still has the miss. any help greatly appreciated!

Try running some fuel system cleaner through it.

could that be the speed sensor?

the tank has some system cleaner running through it now, doesnt seem to be making too much difference.
