ACCELERATION HESITATION? YOU CAN MAKE YOUR CAR RUN SMOOTHLY AGAIN

A malfunction in one or more of six different systems under the hood can cause a cold engine to hesitate during acceleration. Checking out these systems usually uncovers the guilty culprit. A description of these systems--accelerator-pump system, choke system, thermostatic air cleaner, EGR system, intake-manifold heat control and distributor-advance unit--is given, along with an explanation of their operation and the necessary repairs.
