several things could be problematic. as seen earlier, a dirty fuel filter is always suspect, and usually the first and cheapest thing to try provided the filter is in the line and not in the tank. if that doesn't cure its ills, a plugged exhaust or converter would be the next thing to check. after that, internal engine problems.. timing chain stretched? with no info about the car as to make and model, you leave yourself wide open for any answer at all. fill us in with some particulars and maybe we can be of more assistance. good luck.

feels like the alternator. in case you get anew battery and this persists it incredibly is probably the alternator. The hesitant acceleration appears like a transmission difficulty (assuming you force an computerized). If hesitant acceleration replaced into happening previously your vehicle began having battery subject concerns then this may well be your difficulty. The alternator is an uncomplicated restoration. perchance approximately one hundred greenbacks for factors. If it incredibly is the transmission you're finding at some grand to repair it.

YOU SHOULD GET THE VEHICLES COMPUTER SCANNED AND CHECK FOR ANY PROBLEMS AS WELL AS CODES AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD IDEA ON WHAT THE PROBLEM TRULY IS.
TRY FINDING AN INDEPENDENT SHOP INSTEAD OF THE DEALER OR A CHAIN STORE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE OVERALL MORE PLEASED WITH THE FINDINGS AND THE SERVICE.

could be poor quality gas, clogged fuel filter, or even a clogged exhaust system. i would just take it to a good repair shop to let them diagnose it-too many possible problems to try and help you on here.
