Question What's with the hesitation?

My car has started having problems running. The car shakes while driving and doubles power without acceleration. I am not pushingthe gas any harder, but the power is doubling. The car hesitates when starting and after stopping. I am pretty sure it's not an electrical problem, as I just replaced the alternator. The transmission is brand new, too, so I don't think it's anything there. The problem is intermittent. Any ideas on what might be wrong?
