I have this exact same problem. Mainly when i go slower speeds, such as when i turn a corner, as i accelerate out of it, it's like the accelerator does not respond for several seconds. It doesn't matter how hard or soft i press down on it, nothing happens until the engine "kicks in".

When the hesitation occurs do your passengers say it feels like you are braking?
It does with me at the higher speeds, around 4th gear. I lose a moderate amount of speed, about 10kph in a few seconds.

Others out here is Oz have had problems with the fuel filter and fuel pump. This is however associated with the engine check light coming on and a complete loss of power.
I have replaced both fuel and air filters and I still have the problem, but I'll try replacing the fuel pump. I used to get a "check engine" light on but never lost power with it before.
