93' 300zx hesitation

93' 300zx coupe non-turbo 5-speed. Recently the car behaves a little bit strange:


1) It hesitates a lot between 2000 to 2800 RPM, especially on second and third gear. Feel like someone is playing the gas paddle. After pass 3000 RPM everything is back to normal and powerful (again, it is NOT a turbo version).


2) In hot summer day after the engine is shuted off for a while (half hour to one hour), 90% the chance the "check engine" like will turn on when restart the car. But it will turn back off after couple minutes. It never happens in cold days.

I sent it to a local auto mechanic once and he said nothing wrong with it according to the computer (the CheckEngine light was off). And I cannot leave my car to him until the CheckEngine shows up again since I need the car.



Any ideas? Are two issues related? Please help.


He didn't pull the codes right, it stores the codes if the CEL comes on. The light doesn't have to be on to check them. Sounds like a MAS going bad but could be something else. Find a better mechanic!

150K... I had it since 70K and followed all the manufactory service guides, ie. timing belt replacement, oil changes....

this morning the weather temp was about 70 degree, so it was a fun ride. but yesterday afternoon when it was 83 degree, I felt like riding a rodeo.
