I've searched on this topic and all were related to wheel balance, misfire, engine mount, bent wheels, control arms. All those components in my car are in great shape. This only occurs when accelerating 2nd, 3rd gear past 5000 - 5500rpm. There is noticeable hesitation then slowly disappears near redline. I'm not sure what's causing this. I ran the ecu and there are no engine codes. Spark plugs were changed about 10k miles ago, currently sitting at 67k miles.

I'm not too worried at this point since the car drives fine, but a bit concerned.

Does anybody have same issue? or is it just the nature of 90 degree v6 engine configuration? (I'm making excuse for you guys to go out there and go full throttle until 3rd gear [:D] )

Maybe fuel related ? Fuel pump , filter filter dirty injectors .

I could try injector cleaners as a beginning stage

1st gear is too short to notice and 4th would be going way too fast.. lol
