What causes hesitation accelerating?
A vehicle that hesitates while accelerating or while driving up a hill may have a weak fuel pump. Fuel injectors may become dirty over time and not be able to provide as much fuel to the cylinder as is needed. Dirty fuel injectors may cause the engine to run lean which will in turn, cause hesitation when accelerating.

How much does a Toyota Corolla engine hesitate?
Toyota Corolla Engine hesitates during acceleration Inspection costs $85 on average. It can be frustrating for any driver to expect certain acceleration from their vehicle only to find that the vehicle seems to be hesitant while speeding up.
What kind of hesitation does a car have?
Experiencing severe hesitation when starting up from a stop and when accelerating while at lower speed. When engine is cold hesitation is minimal but as soon as engine reaches normal operating temperature. Hesitation is always so bad that I have to be careful pulling into traffic to avoid getting rear-ended.
Why is my Toyota Corolla running so slow?
Another issue with Toyota’s was carbon build up on the intake valves. A top engine cleaner done by a shop can be done to see if it helps. In a lot of cases, removal of the head and a valve job was the answer as carbon absorbs fuel cold and after it warms up, it will run okay.
Why does my car hesitate when I start up?
Rough idle on initial start up in the morning, then clears up, then hesitates slightly on acceleration from a complete stop after that. I have changed coil packs, spark plugs, MAF and O2 (upstream) sensors, and added a fuel injector cleaner. Still have idle and hesitation problems.
