what is the car doing? does it seem like it starving for fuel or not running good or what, could be other things. the springs could go bad or get weak and break and if there weak they could not seat the valves right.

Hesitating sometimes. When i am crusing sometimes it starts to studder, like it's not getting fuel, but i gun it it goes away. This happens some times from a dead stop take off gunning it and in 2nd about 2900 rmp it starts to studder. I let off the gas let it " Catch up" , and it's good to gun again.
