Best Answer

Because you have a misfire on cylinder #2. Can be defective spark plug, bad plug wire, or bad coil if equipped with coil on plug. Can also be a burnt valve, blown head gasket or bad fuel injector if applicable.

Can a bad spark plug make your car hesitate?

Yes, very much so. If you can check via a code reader which cylinder is misfiring try swapping the plug in that cylinder to a different cylinder and see if the misfire shifts with it. Failing that it could be a cool pack or ignition lead at fault.

Can you fix your car misfire by cleaning your car mass air flow meter?

Misfire is caused when a cylinder doesn't ignite its fuel mixture. Suspect a bad plug, coil, or wire. This will not be caused by a mass airflow sensor, that can cause a rough idle or bad fuel economy, but will not cause an individual cylinder to misfire. Driving with a continuous misfire condition will eventually destroy your catalytic converter. If your check engine light is flashing you are doing serious damage to your cat converter.
