My 2011 Suzuki Swift engine is hesitating

I have a 2011 Suzuki Swift and my problem is with the engine. When taking off, it seems that the engine is hesitating. It doesn’t happen all the time, just every now and then. I’ve changed the MAF sensor plugs, but I am not sure what’s next to replace to fix this issue.

Replacing random parts to fix a problem is a great way to tear up dollars and time. It’s also pretty frustrating when the problem doesn’t go away. The first thing to do is to have the car electronically scanned to see if the car’s own computer can point you towards the cause of the problem.

It may be as simple as the car needs a tune up and a new set of spark plugs, but you won’t know until it’s been properly diagnosed. This is not a complex car, so any good workshop should be able to sort it for you. The other problem, of course, is that the issue is intermittent, so it may take the workshop some time to be able to make the problem appear. Patience is the key here, not throwing a load of new parts at it.
