When I start my car in the morning, it hesitates for awhile until it's warmed up. When I give it gas, it hesitates and doesn't want to go. Lately it's started sputtering when I'm stopped and my foot is on the brake. If I put it in park when stopped, the sputtering stops. Also, it sputters occasionally when I'm going uphill. Besides these problems, the car has been running fine. I'm stumped.
