Usually the problem of hesitation is caused by a faulty throttle position sensor or low fuel pressure, and stalling is a dirty throttle body or faulty idle air control valve.
Is the check engine light on ?

SOURCE: bucking, slow acceleration, & shuts off

it can be couple of thing Try a fuel injector cleaner or new fuel injectors.it can be vacuum leak. Engines need a vacuum to run especially at idle which is when your car dies. It could be a stuck EGR.
If the check engine light comes on it will store a code so take it to a shop and pay them to read the codes. This may give you a starting point.

SOURCE: fuel pump

Look inside car on top of fuel tank on car's floor for a metal cover or plastic door compartment screwed in to floor around 6 " to 10" wide, remove that if You find it and under you will find the tank

SOURCE: 2000 Alero ran out of gas and now wont start

you might have a clogged fuel filter when you run a car out of gas it sucks all the junk out of the bottom of the talk and the filter will catch all of that

My 2002 Kia Sedona has less than 84,000 miles, but since December '09, I have been experiencing hesitation, stalling and bucking. When first started, the RPM's go up to about 1500, drop a little and then...

remove and clean carbon from idle control valve, it may be sticking, and also check fuel filter for clogging up. as for the injectors a good injector cleaner used often, usually helps quite a bit. I own a 2000 malibu and it idles at 700 to 750 rpms. 3.1 v6. the dealers want to rip people off! thats my opinion. good-luck!! add injector cleaner at least once a month.

Is there a way to clean out the fuel injectors. my car hesitates on start up and when pressing gas pedal

using injector cleaner is your best bet. I recomend lucas or seafoam injector cleaner. You might want to replace your fuel filter first if you have not already done so. Hope this helps.

Hesitation on acceleration

Try giving it a tune up. It could be a faulty plug wire, spark plug, clogged air filter or clogged fuel filter.
Other possibities could include bad gasoline or a clogged fuel injector. If the tune up doesn't try adding fuel injector cleaner and octane boost to the gas.

Hesitation on gas pedal

Get the fuel pressure checked. Also replace the fuel filter if not done yet. Clean the throttle body with carb cleaner. I don't know exactly what they tuned up or whatever but the fuel filter should've been part of it. Write back if you need more.
