I have a 2002 Chrysler Concorde Lxi 3.5L V6. Sometimes, when
accellerating, the car will hesitate. Rarely, it will even refuse to
start. I've replaced the fuel pump, but I still have this problem.
The "check engine" light is not on.

If anybody has any suggestion as to what may be wrong, let me know.

Thanks,
Paul

When you say "will...refuse to start", I assume you mean the starter
spins the engine, but the engine will not run iteslf.

Based on posts on the 300M Club, those symptoms often mean bad fuel pump
(which you replaced) or intermittent cam or crank sensors (if I had to
pick one to replace, I'd go with cam sensor).

I hadn't thought of those sensors. (I was betting on the oxygen
sensor) I'll definitely look in to them tonight.

Thanks again for your help,

you need a good scantool that can read all the engine data as the issue is
occuring
this would go far in giving info that could tell you which way to go instead
of throwing  parts at it
hell take it to a dealer if you wanna do that

Do you have a model in particular that you recommend?
