Default Hesitating problem

i have a 2.3 auto and when i slam on the gas to get going the car seems to stumble and then pick up and start going why is this. do i need to clean something or what. its pretty damn annouying because the 2.3 i pretty much have to slam on the gas to get the car to move at any good rate of speed other than just really ****ing slow LOL.

ok well, i just took the car out for more a ride and my car pulls to the right a lot when i slam on the brakes. now the thing is that i did bleed the brakes but that was for the fronts only, do you think i need to bleed all of the brakes. also i think i may need to put more fluid it in but i'm not sure because i can push the peddle all the way to the ground.

even if your back brakes weren't working well, I don't think your car would pull. they don't actually do much of the work.

Sounds like you have a sticky caliper but bleeding will not help that on the back brakes anyways and topping fluid will not help either.The back brakes are only 20% of your stopping power so I would try to bleed the fronts again chances are your left caliper isnt working right or your right caliper is sticking.Are the slide pins nice and lubed up so the caliper can slide back and fourth??Cause if they are frozen it will cause the back pad to rub the rotor all the time and wear the pads very quickly

no my front calipers are brand new they shouldn't have anything wrong with them, i think that i may not have bleed them enough so i will do that again. when i pump the brakes and use them then they don't pull at all so i think i just didn't bleed them enough, oh well thats not to hard to do.
