OK guys here is the problem,<P>i put my car in frist gear and go normally but if i floor the car the car will hesitate for a second or two the it will go. it make a noice like plok!! plok!! from the muffler and then it will just go. Is it a fuel problem, air, i don't know so please give me a hand.<P>Also i have a little hole in the exhaust pipe right before the rear wheel. But i don't think this will have such a great effect.

Go to NAPA, they are cheaper..it cost less to buy a rebuilt from them than to buy a used from a junk yard. It was like $200 + $50 core charge. They ordered the part and had it for me the next day.
