Car is hesitating slightly--any ideas on cause

My car seems to hesitate just slightly on hard accelleration. I don't think its the clutch slipping. Could this be a fuel pump or other type of issue? Not sure where to start here. Thanks

Start with the basics: plugs, wires, fuel filter, distributor, fuel pressure etc....

Then you can get into more advanced stuff: vacuum leaks, O2 sensor, AFM, injector wiring, crank speed sensor, CHT sensor, DME etc...

A defective clutch tends to slip at max torque e.g. 3rd gear, up a hill, 2000 rpm, wide open throttle. Rpms increase, speed does not.

Start the elimination process...as this could be many things (as indicated by Aston)
