alright besides my car having the 3800 hesitation listen to this... i just notcied this happining tonight... every other shift into third gear is weird... sometimes when i shifted it into third it bogged down so bad i had it floored and it just jdidnt go anywhere... when i put it in fourth it picked right up. so i had a buddy in his rx7 follow me. it happend again and when he pulled up next to me he wa slike "dude, when you shifted into third gear your reverse lights came on!" iwas liek what the ****... i just put a new neutral safety switch on the trans and it fixed the progblem i had until tonight when it did this bullshit. im fed up with this damn car. 3800 stall and this bullshit... its got a new stage 3 clutch and nuetral safety switch. i mean damn.i got a new trans to put in it but i dont wanna put that in untill i get the new motor... it would be stupid to put it in right now... what the hell would cause it to do that???

Could be a messed up selector in the tranny and your actually going into 5th.
Next time it happens try putting it into 5th. If there is no change they you know its the selector.
Its easy to get the paddles horked up if your shifter bushings are bad.
Yeah, the 3800 thing......
The fuel pump ground sux, takes 5 min to fix it up.
Clogged/dirty secondary injectors do the exact same thing ~3800. hint hint.
S4's have a variable resistor for the fuel pump. Ive often wonderd if thats not the problem
on some of the cars that "cant" get rid of this problem.

Ive seen brand new/cleaned fuel injectors that were stuck from the cleaning/flow test solution.
A few snaps of 12 volts takes car of it, but only a snap or youll ruin your injectors. If they start out not clicking you know it was the prob.
