I'd say check the basics first - dirty air filter/intake, plugs. If all of those check out fine, something is wrong in the tune since you say it idles fine. There should be no hesitation.

Re: 97 cav hesitates when starting off

I am having the same problem, and my mechanic cannot figure out what is wrong. I have been through spark plugs and a few fuel pump injectors. I will suggest this tomorrow- thanks for replying to what the problem was!
