Why does my car sputter when I step on the accelerator?

What happens when you push the accelerator and the car does not accelerate?

When does acceleration kick in in a car?
First noticed weak acceleration at low rpms and then acceleration would kick in suddenly at around 2200 rpm. This happened for a couple of weeks and then one day while driving about 60mph, the check engine light came on as well as the ESC off light and my gas pedal was to the floor but wasn’t doing anything.
