The car hesitates at acceleration everytime I put it on drive. If im at a stop, or light it will hesitate when stepping on gas. It drives fine on reverse, in neutral or in park. But im in drive and it does hesitates when accel but less when I hit gas real slow when im barely pressing on it. This has been happening for a while now and well I rather not drive it like that, I feel like im gonna get hit. So plzzz any would be realy appreciated since the mechanics I taken it to have told me that theres nothing they see.

I have cleaned all the throttle body but it still does the same thing. It was dong this hesitation when I drove around and reached bout 200 degrees and up. But now its doing it just after starting the car and putting it on drive, right now in parking the rpm is going up and down like its accelerating on its own. It started doing this after I replaced idle speed control motor. I havent checked the fuel pressure yet.

Pull idle speed motor and set plunger to one inch from base then drive over 40 mph see if that fixes it. If not scan for codes.

Only code that sometimes comes on is code p032 which I have replaced 3 times but still coming back. It only comes while I have foot on brake and car on drive and car jumps and pulls like it stuck idk what exactly

That is a map sensor problem which can be a vacuum leak, short in wiring to pcm etc. A pro should really diagnose this as it may be a couple other sensors causing the code as well.

They have dignosed it and told me that the green wire was brittle. They told me to take it to an electrical shop. But I want to know if this would be able to cause the car to act like this? Do you think I could replace the harness? Thanks for the help

If the wire is brittle replace it where it's not and fix it make sure to correct connector pin. I can offer no other suggestions or comments.
