I changed the plugs and is still hesitates when i accelerate

Hestitation on acceleration can be caused by several different things.Most of the time depending on the milage in the vehicle I've found it to be the Throttle position sensor.Try testing the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). Get the repair manual for the vehicle and there is a step by step procedure for testing it for resistance. But you will need a scope meter to test test it for a dead spot.(which usually means a repair shop). If this sensor tests ok then there are a list of things that cause hestitation on acceleration which are listed in the shop manual. Shop manuals describe how to check the items relating to the symptoms .and either repair or replace them.

PS One time a customer had this problem and it was due to more then 10% of alchol in the gas tank. (too much ethanol) good luck

Car backfires hesitates when depressing gas pedal

Check the vacum lines going to the distributor and transmission. If they are leaking it could be your problem.
