Car hesitates when accelerating

If you're noticing hesitation or stumbling when you press the gas, your car is telling you something. Here's what usually causes it, what you can safely check, and when to call a mechanic.

Likely causes

  • Dirty air-flow sensor
  • Clogged fuel filter or weak pump
  • Misfiring coil
  • Dirty injectors

“Book a diagnostic.”
