Default gsr hatchy problems

Today my car was acting up, when ever I start to accelerate it hesitates. What could be the cause of that?

many different things...

check spark plugs, plug wires, distributor, tps sensor, etc.

spray carb cleaner on your intake components to check for vacuum leakage too

Bad oxygen sensor, clogged fuel filter...it could be a bunch of things.

does the car idle rough, and not have the full power it used to?

I found the problem, it was bad spark plugs. They had oil on them. I think my piston rings are shot though. The car still runs good. I put a set of Denso plugs in last night and the hesitation stopped
