sometimes when I accelerate it hesitates and if I press harder on the pedal it starts to sputter and back fire. If I ease up it and then press on it , it goes fine.When I accelerate I'm not flooring it. Normal take off. I've had a tune-up and that didn't help.
thank you

is it setting a check engine light? do you know if they replaced the fuel filter? do you know if they did a fuel pressure test?
