OK I have to ask...

Had the heads done last January (18 months ago)  and the van has NEVER
run the same.  This is by a reputable mechanic and he has tried
everything to help.  So he is willing to learn something too.

I never had a problem before with hesitation but it is there now.
Also, at idle it is very rough.  It is timed and setup 'to the button'
right now.  At speed it is smooth, but off the line...boggy.

So this 'dreaded hesitation' ...does it have a cure?
