Unhappy Hesitation when I first push down on the pedal

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on some things to check on. The problem is when I push down on the accel. pedal the car hesitates then goes. It doesnt do it all the time or in reverse. If anyone has any ideas I would be very thankful

Try using some carb-cleaner. Have somebody spray it as your pushing down the accelerator.

Is this a carbed or TPI car?

You might also check for exhaust restrictions, is there a noticable power drop the higher you rev it?

Its a TPI car. I know the TPS, Idle sensor, Oxy. Sensor,Fuel Filter, Fuel Pump, Plugs, wires, cap, rotor...have all been changed. Tomorrow Im gonna clean out the throttle body.

This sounds like a slight disagreement between sensors. If it was a MAF equiped car I would say it is probably due to an air leak after the MAF sensor. On MAP cars this effect is not as noticable, but still present. So make sure you look for vaccuum leaks.
