Does it rev up fine under park? I am assuming the hesitation is when the engine's under load, correct? If that's the case, it is related to ignition. Happened to me less than a year ago. The igntion wire going from the coil to the dist. had corroded and sparks were flying all over!! Hence it would idle or had hesistation under load. I replaced the coil with Bosch unit, but I bought wires from NAPA. Well, wouldn't you know it!! It didn't even last a year!! Two months ago, hesiatation came back...I replaced the FPR, cleaned intake system, spent countless # of hours diagnosing, but all this time i refused to check the wires (since in my mind it was still 'new'). My buddy had a German-made set from his last service which he gave me, and bingo!! The car runs and idles like new!!

Cheers,
SM
