You will need to put a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail to test the FPR. The fuel rail is what distributes the fuel to the injectors--there is usually a valve stem (schrader valve), like on a tire, to attach the gauge.
The FPR is usually located on the fuel rail. It will usually have two fuel lines attached--one for the supply and the other for the return to the tank. It will also have a vacuum line.
A bad FPR will not necessarily throw a code. The computer might see it as a rich condition, bad O2 sensor or a bad Cat.
When it is hesitating, does black smoke come out of the exhaust?

Never hurts to pull the codes as well. If it is the IAC -Idle Air Control valve, located near the throttle body and looks like this:

...then it should throw a code which is stored in the computer. Not all fault codes will trigger the Check Engine Light, so just because you haven't seen it come on doesn't mean there aren't any codes stored.
Possibly it's a problem with the MAF, either a dirty filament or gone bad. Codes will tell you that as well.

Could be a couple of things. Right off the top of my head I'm thinking the Fuel Pressure Regulator. Pull the vacuum hose and see if there's any gas in it. There shouldn't be, if there is then the diaphragm is leaking and sucking raw fuel into the manifold, but without allowing enough fuel pressure to the injectors.
If there's no fuel in the vacuum hose, check the pressure anyway. It should be around 35-40 psi.
And check those codes.
