Default Car is running like sh*t! HELP

I drive a 92 bone stock vx. Lately my car has been hesitating and sputtering when i push on the gas pedel. It has also been backfiring every now and then. I was thinking the sputtering could be from shitty fuel injectors but I'm not totally sure. ANY IDEAS will help greatly. Thanks

Have you had a tune-up lately with spark plugs/wires, fuel filter, dist. cap/rotor, air filter? Overdue maintanence can cause hesitation.

Maby your car just desperately needs a tune up.
Have you checked your spark plugs, timing, distrubitor cap ect. Buy a bottle of injector cleaner if you really think its the injectors. Maby your airfilter is clogged causing your car to run rich.
You gt a 4 day weekend coming up time to pop the hood and play with your car.
