Hi Everyone

I am a new member that is a proud owner of a 2003XI. I do have a nissue with the car right now. Until the car is fully warmed up it seem to hesitate

. Today it was so bad I thought the car was in neutral. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be?

Thank you
Carol

welcome! It could be the camshaft positioning sensor or just a bad fuel filter.. I think former sounds more reasonable..

I hope it is one of those. Thank you for the quick reply.

no problem.. a camshaft positioning sensor is an easy DIY. Just search for more info on that

Thank you for your help. As it was my fuel filter was disgusting...LOL so a tune up fixed the problem.
