    Did you check the fuel pressure? Clean the MAF?

    Fuel pressure should be up around 58 psi. Like 0rion mentioned, although it usually sets a code, a misfire will cause hesitation and a loss of power. If you check the plug wires, you should hear/feel two "clicks" when you install the wire to the coil pack and one "click" when you push the boot onto the spark plug.

    The Mass Air Flow sensor (MAF) is between the air cleaner lid and throttle body. It can be cleaned with CRC Spray MAF Cleaner available at any parts store. Easiest way to test the MAF is to purposefully fail it by unplugging the electrical connector to it. This will force the PCM into speed density mode where airflow is estimated rather than measured. If the hesitation and rough running goes away when you unplug the MAF that is the likely culprit. Note that unplugging it will set a code and should trigger the SES light.

    Check your plug wires to ensure that they are properly seated and not burned or shorting out on something. You can remove and reinstall each wire. Upon removal, squirt a dab of dielectric grease into the spark plug boot as this will both deal out moisture and allow for easier removal in the future. When reinstalling the wires, you should hear/feel one "click" on the plug and two "clicks" on the coil. If the wires are original, then throw them out and get a new set.
