2003 Odessy slight hesitation

    I have a 2003 Odessy with a 3.5 V6. It hesitates slightly, and somtimes
    drops power for a fraction of a second. It's strange because it only does
    it when the gas peddle is slightly depressed, when cruising at high or low
    speeds. No problems on acceleratation, no problems starting. I get no
    codes returned when I check the computer with a reader, and no engine light
    is comming on. The car has 56,000 miles on it so I tend not to think it
    needs a tune up per se. I checked a couple plugs, and the air filter, and
    everythings alright there. I was thinking that a fuel filter or fuel pump
    might be acting up but before I test the fuel pump pressure I thought see
    if anyone here has any ideas. Could the ECM be acting up? I would think
    that would trigger some codes. Anyways, I'm stumped. I have one idea, I
    know on some cars if the gas cap isn't on tight, the car will act up, does
    anyone know if this happens with this engine? If it does, wouldn't I get a
    fault code? A buddy of mine was having problems once and the code reader
    came back with some kind of fuel problem code, and a quick search suggested
    taking the gas cap off and putting it back on again tight.. problem fixed.

    TIA

    Are you running injector cleaner (or a tank of Gasohol) through it a
    couple times a year?

    Look through the TSB's :

    Read the tranny ones too.

    Does it hesitate when the AC is on, off, or all the time? See previous
    post on 98 Civic Compressor. Good luck.

    I'll run some injector cleaner through today. About these transmission
    codes, I had assumed that any such codes would automatically be read. Is
    there a different interface port to read the tranny codes, if so, where
    is it?

    Thanks.

    AC makes no difference.

    Thanks for the wish of luck.

    my 03 Pilot with 98,000 miles is acting like that - I figure when I am in
    for the timing belt, I will ask. Gas mileage has dropped to 15,16 too was
    17-19.

    Well the check engine light finally came on and triggered some codes. I
    got a p1491 which is an EGR malfunction. I also have a TCS light coming on
    indicating that there may be a problem with the the traction control
    system. I'm glad we got the extended warranty on this baby when we bought
    it a month ago.
