About 1 month after the mass air flow sensor was replaced and about 6 months after my head gaskets were replaced, my sable started to hesitate when warm. The vehicle has no power. The fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter and throttle position sensor have all been replaced with no effect. The timing has also been found to be right on.
