I JUST HAD NEW SPRAK PLUGS, PCV VALVE AND FUEL FILTER PUT ON MY VAN AND IT IS STILL HESTITATING WHEN I AM DRIVING. COULD THIS BE PLUG WIRES DISTRIBUTOR CAP OR WHAT

Oxygen sensor
Catalytic Converter
Dirty fuel injectors (cleaning the injectors often fixes this).
Bad MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor
Bad TPS (throttle position) sensor
Bad or dirty MAF (mass airflow) sensor
Low fuel pressure (leaky fuel pressure regulator or weak fuel pump)
Vacuum leaks (intake manifold, vacuum hoses, throttle body, EGR valve)
Bad gasoline (fuel contaminated with water or too much alcohol)


Sometimes, what feels like a hesitation is actually ignition misfire rather than lean misfire. The causes of ignition misfire may include:

Dirty or worn spark plugs
Bad plug wires
Weak ignition coil
Wet plug wires
