Check it for tune up
don't over look the ignition wires

i had it tuned up about 4 months ago and they did say one of the cylinders had low compression

A low compression cylinder would be a cause for lack of power and hesitation
a cylinder leak test can be done to find the reason of a low compression
Replied on November 28, 2010
that sounds expensive, what are some of the reasons for low compression?
Replied on November 28, 2010
It can be an expensive repair and specially on a high mileage engine
as for reason for a low compression it could be many, and a leak test on the cylinder is needed to verify the reason
