Default need sum help!! Cars not accelerating to well

Hey guys I have a question, When i'm driving my 91 civic dx (1.5L) jus cruzin I find it hesitating under normanl conditions. When I start in 1st gear and shift at 2200-3000 RPM into 2nd and then accelerate I find the car hesitates. I changed the plugs , PCV valve and put in an air intake. I think it might be the fuel filter?? But not sure. I need help!

try throwing in a bottle of fuel system cleaner in first to see if that help the problem. It could be a carbon build up or the intake valves are gummed up. thats your cheapest solution. i recommend Valvoline Syn Power Fuel system cleaner its about 10 bucks home that helps

My car (92 CX) was bogging bad because of the timing. Set the timing right and BAM! it is all good. Oh yeah I bought it with the timing messed up.
