I have a 2000 GT. It will always start right up and idle fine but once and awhile it will start to hesitate and sputter when I give it the gas. When this hesitating starts, if I turn it off it will start right up but still hesitates when I give it gas. This hesitation can go on for what seems like days. Fuel pressure checks out.

I actually stumbled across what seems to fix it and then it may go for weeks without a problem. If I disconnect the battery for awhile, and then re-connect it, the hesitation goes away. But eventually (could be 1-2 months) it will start hesitaing again. And hears the kicker, when it hesitates one of the instrument guages (the one on the right) seems to lose power - the needle goes all the way to the left. I can live with this problem but I wonder if anyone has any idea what could be causing it.
Thanks,
Bill
