If the check engine light is on use the computer diagnostics to find the problem. You can usually borrow, rent or buy an OBD2 code scanner from most auto parts retailers. After you've resolved the problem reported by the computer, see if the hesiatation problem still exists. The light on just tells you that there is a "fault code". If you follow the computer diagnostics you'll waste a lot fewer parts.

Why does 1993 Suzuki sidekick hesitates?
It does not have much power, a small 1.6 liter engine that only puts out 80 horsepower. The 4-door models have 4-speeds but the 2-doors only have 3-speeds. This may be why it "hesitates" or takes a bit to accelerate.
What is the cause of your 2000 dodge ram 1500 5.2 liter Driving down the road when you press the gas peddle the engine kind of hesitates and doesnt accelerate as good it's like its sputtering?
Check engine light on? If so have it checked for codes. That should point you towards a possible misfire.
Why does 1997 Ford Explorer hesitates to accelerate?
I had the same problem with my '97 Eddie Bauer Explorer. As simple as it sounds, I fixed the problem with a bottle of Gumout High Mileage fuel system cleaner, which I mixed with 92 octane gas. I then refilled with high octane at least one tank out of every four. After 3000 miles, I ran a second bottle of the gumout through the tank. No hesitation whatsoever in the engine any more.

What would cause an engine to idle but stall when trying to accelerate?
Had a Jeep in the shop here with that problem last week and it turned out to be low fuel pressure. Try running a fuel pressure test. The Jeep would idle ok but when you tried to accelerate the engine would stall.

Problem with the transmission. You need to have the transmission computer checked for codes to know a possible cause.

Why does 1987 Nova hesitates?
Well I posted the question and did not explain! While the car is in park or neutral is accelerates well. When you put it in gear and hit the gas it stumbles or hesitates really bad. You can push the gas pedal all the way to the floor and the engine will continue to idle then it will pick up and run with some slight misses! Fuel problem????
