My car hesitate when pulling out in the street . . Happens often and when the engine is at normal temp, not when cold. It starts out for about 3 feet then the engine stalls, does not quit running, just stall for 3 to 5 seconds. Give it gas and nothing, then all at once it takes off. Very danerous. Some days it performs great then the next it starts the hesitation again. Making an appt to take it back in to have it checked next week.
