Default low speed stutter/hesitation

Hi guys,

Small problem Pop up last week. Under very light acceleration my car hesitates a little. Sometimes it would lurch up and down like if you are playing with the gas while under load. It does this both accelerating and slowing down. Today I noticed a little backfire in that range as well. car works well after that area. ccelerates clean on topand decelerates without a problem up to that point.
Also she idles spot on 750. no misses at all.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Still haven't gotten around to checking the map sensor. I oserved today that on de-celeration when the car stops the idle would drop to almost zero then settle back at 750.
Someone told me the injectors might need cleaning. What you guys think about this.

Have you replaced your plugs wires? I had a low speed miss years ago when the car had 37,000 miles on it. It turned out to be a a bad plug wire.

The car ran fine above say 3000 rpm. But you could feel a little stumble during low rpm shifts and when you just rev it from idle.
