Hello,

There could be a number of reasons why the engine has hesitation.
It could be due to a weak fuel pump, dirty fuel filter, vacuum leak, dirty mass air flow sensor, worn spark plugs etc.

The best course of action would be to take a look at induvial items and take appropriate action. Like cleaning out the mass air flow sensor, replacing fuel filter, checking for any vacuum leak and fixing if necessary.

Take a look at this helpful guide:

Go through this and report back to what you find.

Is the check engine light illuminated? If so scanning and retrieving the code(s) can help with the diagnostics.

If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.
Thank you.
