It's not real bad but you can tell it's doing it. The only mod is a KKM intake. Could this be some sort of back pressure issue or something? Any ideas?

I don't feel what seemed to be hicups as I approach 3500 anymore. With the KKM, there seemed to be alot more flat and sharp spots when accelerating. In short, I think it could be the KKM. Good luck... Focus SE Sport Wagon (the wife's) Mazda3 (mine)

They get so nasty Ford should have put them in the general maintenance schedules. There is a How-To if the FAQ area! 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
