Default 97 Civic ex hesitates acceleration

my civic hesitates when I accelerate, it does it between 2-3 rpm almost everyday, drives me nuts, after kicking back in runs fine. Ive seen similar threads with NO results, anyone fix the problem? there is no engine light on, we changed the engine temp sensors, sending unit, after a friend had the same problem, they weren't too expensive so no big deal, worked for like a day or 2 and were at it again...frustrated

Get your ignition and mechanical timing checked.
When's the last time it had a tune-up on the:
Distributor/Dizzy, Dizzy rotor, Dizzy cap, Spark plugs, spark plug wires, etc;?
How are the O2 Sensors?
Any vacuum leak? Here's how to check:
