    Unhappy urgent help! vt v6 hesitation under load

    Plese help. i,ve had this intermittant hesitation when accelerating for a couple of months now. i hope someone can shed some light. it's only a slight hesitation when you try to accelerate say, up a slight incline with out it kicking down a gear. now here is what i,ve done so far.
    1/replaced fuel filter & cleaned tank.
    2/tested fuel pump-pressure & volume good.
    3/replaced fuel pressure regulator.
    4/replaced spark plug & leads
    5/checked for vacuum leaks-none
    6/replaced IAC valve
    7/replaced TPS
    8/fitted reco injectors & new O2 sensors.
    9/replaced air flow meter/MAF sensor
    10/tried different ECU
    11/replaced cam angle sensor
    12/replaced crank angle sensor
    13/checked & cleaned all wiring connectors
    14/replaced ignition module & coils.
    engine doesnt lose coolant, engine oil has no contamination & it doesnt set any fault codes. i hope someone shed some light as to what the problem is. the car has been to 3 different mechanics and they cant find anything wrong.
