As you know, I have been esperiencing hesitation on a cold start since I got my baby. We found out today those ****** Bosch O2 sensors are [******]! Put 2 new OEM ones in and she works like a charm!

Thank you Chuck! She ran like a beauty all the way home!

I get this too and now it's starting to do it while warm and simply cruising down the road. Almost feels like there is water in the gas, only it runs fine if I open up the throttle. Still sound like O2 sensors?

Jeebus! I just called the local dodge dealer and they said the O2 sensors are about $120 each (I don't remember the exact dollar amount). No wonder people put the poopie Boschs in.

Man, I sure would like to, but I have a dyno appointment tomorrow morning. Gonna have to pick these up at lunch today and put em in tonight (and cross my fingers that it'll fix my problem). But for future items, I'll give Chuck a call.

My dad actually had a bosch spark plug come apart in his Lincoln. The electrode broke off, bounced around in the cylinder and was spat out the exhaust. He mailed the rest of the spark plug back to Bosch. They took a look and told him that detonation caused the plug to fail, that it was his car to blame, not the plug. Nice. 50,000 miles later, the Lincoln is still running great, though he has never used Bosch plugs again, nor have I.
