My 2007 chevy malibu when it reaches 20-25 mph kicks or hesitates badly, can you help me please? I am thinking fuel filter or something.

If the check engine light has come on, have the computer scanned for trouble codes. You should also check fuel pump pressure. If you need directios, go to our homepage under the diy section. There are detailed instructions and a video.

If there is no light, it could be a fuel pressure issue, it may need a tune up, a simple fuel filter could be plugging... Start with checking fuel pressure. Also, if it hasn't been tuned up since new, you may want to consider it.
