I miss my 8!

Took it in last Monday for engine hesitation at 5k and 7k rpms. They got a new computer chip in it today. No fix. New engine is on its way..... "couple of weeks" ...... *cry*

this sounds like whats going on with dominion... maybe talk to him about it. at the very least, you could cry on one another's shoulder! good luck, hope everything is back to normal (or better) soon.

my 8 had he same problem

About 4 months ago my 8 had the same problem with hesitation at higer revs from 6500+ it would sputter miss and praitcally sound like it was going to die twards the end. brought it in nd the replaced the Cat(for the second time) an it was 99% of what it once was. it is starting the the issue agian..i tihnk, its starting to spitter at 7k. but they didnt drop a new ngine in... but if it does happen again im am going to demand something else be done other then the changing of the cat.

(it eems to do this thing every 6 or 8k miles... its odd but i know they have had issue with the Cat in the 8.)
