Default Engine Problem Help...

Ok I got a 87 Camaro RS Auto. And It hesitate if you give it alot of gas at a stop. Then between 1100 to 1500 rpms it doest it in a way but if you let it go smooth from idle past 1500 punch it then it hesitates but then at like 2200 and up it usally can handle it? Also the shifts are very hard at times and jerky then how it is normally I Have to double check but it has less then 60k miles on it. Mite be a few things But Nothing seemed to work yet so figure I would ask.

Thanks

It probably wouldn't hurt for you to go over the basic mantienence part of it. Change the spark plugs, or at least make sure non are loose or broken, and check the gap on them. Change the fuel filter. Also check if your kick down cable is functioning properly. My 2 cents.
