Hesitation: Improper EGR operation, bad fuel pressure response...

Thanks Roger...looks like that'll give me something to do this weekend then . I'll get some Seafoam and run it through, and check condition of the EGR to start with. If time permits I'll probably clean the intake while I'm doing the cleaning thing.
is it in Park? i thought that the auto trannied cars were rev limited when you were in park and gassed it. i know my L does the exact samething so i wouldnt worry about it too much

yes I was in park...but i didn't floor it. Just a quick pop of the accelerator. Much like if you were to just tap your foot on the floor really quick. The pedal isn't even depressed a quarter of the way when I do that.
I find the Duratec V6 does not rev if you jab the gas, yet no problems with the power at all! We have 2 cars with that engine, both are the same. My SHO revs in neutral better..
