Does the car hesitate when YOU drive it? Define "hesitate". Does your brother drive a Corvette? If so then going into a Sunfire would feel like it is hesitating.

when it hesitates it does it off a stop when you go to give it gas. the car will pog down really bad.

I have a manual and it idles about 900 rpms

The 2.2L engine you have should idle at around 600 in a 4 speed auto

750 RPM basically all the time
