before you go spending unnessassary money, i would take a look at the o2 sensors...that could cause hesitating and bad gas milage.

there is so much to be checked before going that route you could be looking at a $100 worth of parts where if you rebuilt the motor you would probably reuse and end up with the same problem. You have to remember these cars run off of sensors and if one is out of wack then you end up with non mechanical problems that seem to be mechanical if that makes any sense what so ever. Point being it could be a multitude of problems that are very simple to fix. You just have to bring it to the right place to have it checked out.
