A car may hesitate when you accelerate due to several factors, including a clogged fuel filter, which restricts fuel flow, or a malfunctioning fuel pump that fails to deliver the necessary pressure. Issues with the ignition system, such as worn spark plugs or ignition coils, can also cause misfires that lead to hesitation. Additionally, problems with the air intake system, like a dirty mass air flow sensor, can disrupt the air-fuel mixture, resulting in poor acceleration response. Regular maintenance can help identify and rectify these issues.

How will a car act if the plugs are bad or it has throttle body problems?

if you have fouled sparkplugs then the car will hesitate when you accelerate, seeming to 'miss' a step or two. if it's a clogged throttle body, the car will just act sluggish, gas mileage will go down and the accelerator might stick a bit when you try to step on it.
