When I step on the accelarator the car hesitates or chugs but if I floor the accelarator it doesnt> do u think it might be the mass air flow censor or the fuel pump or a vaccum line or anything else? Or maybe the computer needs to be reset after haveing the crank censor changed?

You most have changed the spark plugs. If so then it your mass air flow did not tieten right. Retieten it and it will run great.(The big thing on top with small bolts). Tieten to 35 lb of pressure. Some thing happen me I thought it was valve, sensors all of that.
