There is some type of malfunction in the fueling system of the car. The car should always get around 11-15 times more air than fuel, if this ratio drops suddenly, power is lost.
This could happen for instance when gas is pressed, and more fuel is delivered to the engine, but equal increase in the amount of air is not, for some reason, delivered. The engine is said to run "rich". This could happen for instance if the engine air filter is blocked.

Why does car engine hesitate on initial acceleration?
When you press your foot on the gas pedal, it tells the car it needs more gas. The engine then has to take in extra gas. Once it has the extra gas, it must compress the gas, so the gas will have a higher pressure. Once the gas is pressurized, a spark plug goes off, causing the combustion, which powers the car. The time it takes to do all of that causes the hesitation on initial acceleration.
