16v hesitation

My last bout of hesitation was caused by bad wiring. Clean all the ground and power wire connections near the battery, at the alt and at the starter. If that helps, then consider replacing any or all of these wires for a real fix. Also check and/or replace the wire from the coil area to the back of the intake manifold (looks like a flat black strip more than a wire).
