Check the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor If a bad sensor is causing your hesitation issue, it may (or may not) trigger the check engine light (CEL). So, before you begin any diagnostic procedure, it is a good idea to scan the computer memory for trouble codes that can help diagnose the problem.

What happens when you hit 3000 rpm in a car?

If you are driving down the highway or taking off from a stop and hit 3,000 RPM the car will stop accelerating and the gas pedal basically becomes non-responsive.
