Hello, I'm not sure if my question will belong here but I think is somewhat related: I have a bit of hesitation from the engine in between 5.5k to 6.5k rpm's aprox. while accelerating; anyone knows what could it be? Thanks.

Car history: 05GT AT, bought used with 45k+- aprox., 71k miles, stock, 2nd engine(25k miles with it), and flooded it once in my possesion... After that. I replaced coil, wires and plugs...3k miles oil change since purchased... No lights on in dash...

I'll snap his neck.
Is it easily repeatable? Does it do it in multiple gears? Any other issues (idle, etc)?
Cheapest thing to try is clean the throttle body and MAF sensor. Mine was having an issue last year holding a good idle. Replaced coils, plugs, and wires because they were due anyway. No effect on the idle. Turned out to be a dirty MAF and/or throttle body. Cleaned them both at the same time, so I'm not sure what the exact fix was. Both are pretty easy, and I'm no mechanic

I used the CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner. Just got it at one of the local auto parts stores. Just took the MAF out, soaked the little wire sensor part with the cleaner on both sides, and let it sit and dry for awhile before reinstalling.

Yes it repeats in any gear at 5.5 to 6.5k aprox...the hesitation lasts 1+- second... I've changed plugs, coils and wires, and also cleaned MAF and throttle body... I'm thinking now have to clean the other valves?... No Mechanic experience too but with help from this forum was easy.... My next job would be new rotors and pads and caliper paint
