2014 mid range power hesitation

[Jeffpewarski]

I have a stock 2014 v6. This problem happens more on cold starts, but when I start to get on the throttle and downshift somewhere in the 3000rpm range the car hesitates, and a few times has jerked. Is this normal? I am wondering if its regular blended gas. I put non ethanol 93 in the car today, and it seems to run smoother. I also wonder if the car is not getting enough air and may need a CAI.

I have a 2012 GT with an Intake and Tune on it, and I have come across this before many times. It seems to happen when the car is between 25% and 75% normal operating temperature after a cold start. It kind of feels like a slight jerking motion under low to moderate acceleration. It clears up within about 30 seconds or so, and ive never really had it effect the performance of the car. I think it is caused from the engine that is trying to transition between cold running conditions to normal temp running conditions. Almost like an old engine with a choke and carb that has to find the sweet spot between the transition of temperature increase. I don't know if this is what you're talking about or not though.
