Let f be a Maass form for SL3(Z) with Fourier coefficients A(f) (m, n). A smoothly weighted sum of A(f) (m, n) against an exponential function e(alpha n(beta)) of fractional power n(beta) for X <= n <= 2X is proved to have a main term of size X-2/3 when beta = 1/3 and a is close to 3l(1/3) for some integer l not equal 0. The sum becomes rapidly decreasing if beta < 1/3. If such a sum is not smoothly weighted, the main term can only be detected under a conjectured bound toward the Ramanujan conjecture. The existence of such a main term manifests the vibration and resonance behavior of individual automorphic forms f for GL(3). Applications of these results include a new modularity test on whether a two dimensional array a(m, n) comes from Fourier coefficients A(f) (m, n) of a Maass form f for SL3(Z). Techniques used in the proof include a Voronoi summation formula, its asymptotic expansion, and the weighted stationary phase.
