Hello,

There are few different reasons of why an engine will hesitate on acceleration. It could be due to a dirty fuel filter, weak fuel pump. For having vacuum leak, dirty mass airflow sensor. Worn out plugs can also make the engine hesitate.

Here is a helpful guide:

The best course of action would be to take a look at the possibility and make sure everything is in good shape and working properly. Got thru those items in the guide above and let me know what you find.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
