Default Problem: slight hesitation just off idle

'98 Accord LX 4 cyl AT 50K miles

When I go to hit the gas from a stoplight and I apply just a little pressure to the pedal, the engine will sometime act like it wants to quit. This only happens just off idle. Once the revs pick up, it's just fine. If you step on the pedal a decent amount, it's not even noticable. Is this normal?

Just tuned it up: oil&filter, ATF change, new plugs, new air filter, new PCV valve, just ran some Techron fuel injection cleaner.

You didn't mention plug wires, did you get those? because I had a friend with a Maxima that acted like that b/c of wires.

i agree to check the wires but change the spark plugs and change the fuel filter ... check the cap and rotor to see if they are bad that should solve your problem

How do you change the fuel filter? Thought it was in the fuel tank?

I will look into getting new wires, rotor, and cap.

You don't need to unless it's causeing a problem. (It probably isn't.)
