Why is my Kia Sportage hesitating when accelerating?

I have a Kia Sportage and recently it has started to hesitate when I accelerate. The check engine light is not on and I can't figure out what the problem is. Any ideas?

There are a few possible reasons for a hesitation when accelerating. One possible cause could be a clogged fuel filter. I would recommend checking and replacing it if necessary.

Another common cause for hesitation could be a faulty mass airflow sensor. I would suggest getting it checked and possibly replaced by a mechanic.

It could also be a problem with the spark plugs. I would recommend checking and replacing them if needed.
