Default A little help?

93 Notchback, automatic. Less than 44K miles. I'm a newbie to cars so please bear with me.



When I accelerate to a normal speed at a normal rate, lets say 40 mph, then slow down (allowing the transmission to downshift to 1st or 2nd gear), when i accelerate slowly again, the car is hesitant and jerky. If I really step on the pedal, it'll downshift and the jerkiness is gone, but its that hesitancy that worries me.



What could this be? What do I do? Thanks.

I cant figure out if you are saying it is hesitant to shift or if the engine is hesitating

Sorry for not being clearer. The engine is hesitating.
