Default hesitation

yea... ive had the car 2 weeks and picking up hesitation already..;l btu thats ok its got 124000 miles on it so im not mad... but ne ways, when i hit the gas it seems to take a second for the car to take off... but then it takes off and is under normal power... but at first it bogs down, my first guess was fuel injectors. Am i most likely right? what else could it be.. do i need to describe more?

It could be clogged injectors/fuel filter. It may even be that you have a spark problem. Take your plugs out and see how clean/dirty they are. May be time for new plug wires or coil packs. If you are going to have to do coil packs go MSD just in case you raise compression later with PI heads.

Hesitation problems could be from a dirty fuel system (intake,injectors,filter,etc.) to electrical (TPS sensor). Is it like a low power delay or like a mis-fire?

Also...study up on your native tongue. Your grammar is horrible.

Could also be a MAF problem.

Is it like a bucking?

a low power delay definitely sounds like a fuel problem...usually ignition and some electrical problems result in a jerking/bucking effect.

Check out the fuel system first. Start with the cheapest and go from their.

A fuel filter service and fuel pressure test would be great for starters. Pull a plug and see what it looks like...
