Try having a mechanic inspect your transmission (primary suspect when this happened on my vehicle), plugs and wires, and catalytic converter. I was also told it could have been the fuel pump as well. Only your mechanic will know for sure what the cause is, since there are many things that can cause your car to hesitate.
