1991 camaro 3.1 v6 with just over 100,000 miles on it. Car seems to hesitate i.e. when i first take off or am going at low speeds it hesitates. When i step on the gas to take off it doesnt wanna go right away its very momentarily hardly noticeable. just wondering if you give me a general idea of the problem. sorry not much info but it hasnt had a oil change since 94000 getting one in a fewdays. could that help or is it the tranny? thanks for any help. one more thing i almost have to floor it to get it going when reversing not sure if problems tie together.

Lack of acceleration,chugging,hesitating,jerking,bogging,misfiring etc. could be caused by one of the following below

Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.
Crankshaft position sensor
Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
False air leakage.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.

Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.
