Best Answer

Hesitation Definition: When the throttle peddle is pressed the engine fails to respond, and may stall. For this to be true it is idling correct.

No, a failed, stuck or gummed up IAC will not cause the hesitation.

The gummed up may if it has blocked any of the small passages in the throttle body.

It is much more likely you have a bad plug, plug wire, Oxygen sensor, Temp sensor, Bad MAP sensor or other problem.
