car hesitates at about 2200 rpm's, any ideas why? Options

[95celigt]

It only does this when cruising at 2200 to 2500 rpm's in every gear. It's like a little jerk from the engine. I have replaced the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor and it din't solve the problem. I was thinking about trying the o2 sensor but at a $180.00 i dont want to replace it if it is fine. Any ideas would be alot of help. Thanks guys and gals.

hi m8 i had the same probs, i just went down to the car 10 mins ago and started prodding about i had the car running and started pulling little breather hoses out where ever i could, i few times the car stalled, just restared it and carryed on the last thing i checked was my ht leads and found that 3 were not on fully so i pushed them down as much as they would go , when i started up the car a noticed that the little miss i had at tick over had gone so i took it out for a spin and what do u know the flat spot as disapearded , planked the foot down at 2200rpm and the motor pulls now instead off thinking about it till it got to 3000rpm lol

Its the uk gt i have with the 3s-ge engine . seems to be alot off peolpe complaining about this prob on all celica forums but iv yet to find someone with a cure , i was told by at toyota mechanice that the throttle body gasket can go and thats usualy the prob but he also sayed that i could only put platinium plugs in my car or i would burn the pistons out which was alot off bull , why cant dealers just tell us the truth??.
Who knows eh just one off those anoying things a guess lol.

Hope my wee prod about my car has helped..
