Hesitant Mazda 323F
I own a 1999 Mazda 323F 1.5 Lxi with 65,000 miles on the clock. It runs well with the exception of an occasional flat spot/hesitation when accelerating up through the gears. This can happen on a hot or cold engine.

Well we would suggest that you check out the following
1. MAF ( mass air flow) sensor
2. then the injectors
3. Then the Air Filter ( blocked etc)
4. The Ignition system ( check all leads etc)
5. Check the Fuel filter
6.CKP ( crankshaft position ) sensor
7. CMP ( camshaft position ) sensor
8. ECU ( engine management system)
Hope this helps
