hesitation problem
hi wonder if any of you guys can shed any light on this prob. for the past couple days now when i accelerate its gets to around 4000rpm and it will hesitate and starts to misfire (had flames shooting out the exhaust). if i change down a gear then back up its fine however, also the car seems to be using more fuel than usual.Also seems to be an intermittent problem as when i tookthe mechanic out in it it seemed fine yet on the way home its playing up again. Have checked the ecu and it does not seem to be showing any fault code Any ideas? its a 96 jdm sti by the way

Sounds like a coil pack problem to me, usual sypmtoms which will get worse as time goes on.
Regap the plugs to .5mm and see if it goes away, if it does then you have a coil pack breaking down.
When did you last have a plug change out of interest?
