Engine hesitation can be caused by a variety of factors. It could be a problem with the fuel system, the ignition system, or even a faulty sensor. I recommend bringing your car to a certified mechanic to diagnose the issue.

One possible cause of engine hesitation in a Kia Rio is a dirty air filter. When was the last time you had it replaced? A dirty air filter can restrict air flow to the engine, causing it to hesitate. Try replacing the air filter and see if it improves your car's performance.

Another common culprit of engine hesitation is a malfunctioning mass air flow sensor. This sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine and helps adjust the fuel-to-air ratio. If it's faulty, it can cause your car to hesitate. Consider getting it checked and replaced if necessary.
