COP kit fixed the problem.  All hesitation on acceleration is gone!  Seems a bit more responsive as well.  I would say that the wires or the coil pack was the culprit.

I would replace the spark plugs 1st as they are pretty cheap.  Always go cheapest to most expensive when diagnosing.  Check the spark plug wires as well.  I've heard they tend to fail around 150k.  I am currently working through a similar problem.  I've replaced the spark plugs, fuel filter, and fuel pressure regulator.  These parts have helped.  I'm going to install a COP system next, since it isn't that much more expensive than the plugs themselves.  I'll let you know what happens.

Good to know!  I was able to get a pic for anyone who wants to see.  Kinda blurry, but you get the gist.

This sticker is on my data port cover.  I am wondering if this is normal, or if I have an aftermarket chip installed.  Sorry I don't have a  pic, but it says: "This vehicle is equipped with performance software.  Before performing and EPROM update to the engine or transmission ECU, please call Dinan Engineering."
