Hi all,
For about a week now, at different rpms, but always when I am at low throttle,
my car hesitates or stutters very badly, as if I were accelerating and stomping
on the brake at the same time.  It happens at anywhere from 2500 rpm to
3000-3500 rpms, in first through third gears.  It only happens if I hold the
throttle at those rpms - if I mash the gas, it will roar through it and not
stutter.  The other thing, if I am idling and I steadily raise the rpms through
that 3500 mark, it doesn't stutter.  I also noticed that it only seems to
happen when the car has been running for awhile and is warm.

I have an HKS VPC and GCC hooked up, and I think I have them properly tuned,
that is, I'm not running too rich or too lean, according to the readings I get
on the GCC.  (If anyone has the manuals to either of these, I'd REALLY
appreciate getting a copy of them, and I'll pay for 'em, too.  My mechanic
won't touch that stuff without the manuals).

The car recently was dying at idle, so I had the ICS (stepper motor) tested and
found that it's bad, so I'm having it replaced.  Would the ICS have anything to
do with this new and very irritating problem?  I also bought some fuel injector
cleaner, haven't tried it yet, though.  Would the throttle position sensor have
anything to do with it?
Thanks for any and all help or suggestions!
