But, I think it's more due to the fact that the car had a little time to cool down during the fill up. And my hesitation is gone for the first 10 seconds. :)

: Ok, I know it is not a weight thing. I know the car would accelerate faster with a half a tank rather than with a full. Here is the thing, the motor does not pull as hard with and it also kind of cuts in and out, with the loudness and high reving rpm but no pull, it also shifts low when accelerating on full tank. Once it gets to anywhere in between a half a tank and almost empty it is very strong (well stronger than with anything over a half tank). Anyone know what this may be? I still have that damn gas smell too...but I think that is something different like the fuel filler tube, which I need to go down and have fixed but I am too lazy to wait at the dealer all weekend. Please let me know what you think the problem may be. I have searched and looked in the FSM and can not come to a conclusion.
