Is there a sensor on the 94 laBaron that controls throttle response?

    I have been having trouble with a 94 La baron V6 with auto trans.

    It hesitates when I attempt to accelerate while driving. If I continue to
    apply more gas it picks right up and goes. It runs fine from a dead stop
    with no hesitation.

    In addition the engine stalled on a few occasions while driving but if I
    was quick enough (I could see the tach dropping)I could apply a little
    throttle and keep it running.

    Are there any sensors, etc. that control throttle response or control?

    Thanks
    Guys

  2. Yes, plenty of them. See if there are any trouble codes stored.

    To check the computer codes:

    With the engine off, switch the ignition key on-off-on-off-on,
    leaving it "ON". Do not
    go to "start", just "on" during this procedure.

    Watch the "Check Engine" or "Power Loss" light. It will turn on, then go
    off, then will begin to flash-out any trouble codes that have been stored.
    For instance, if it flashes:

    flash <pause> flash flash
    <long pause>
    flash flash flash <pause> flash flash flash flash flash
    <long pause>
    flash flash flash flash flash <pause> flash flash flash flash flash

    Then you have a 12 (one flash followed by two) a 35 (three and five) and a
    55 (five and five). 55 means "end of codes" or, if by itself, "No codes
    stored. Check the codes and report what you find.
