I had the same problem this week, it would start hesitating at odd times. Added some dry gas (isopropyl) and the problem is slowly going away. Ironically, got the offending tank by treating the car to some Amoco instead of the convenience store crap I usually buy.

If that doesn't solve it these things could also be culprits:

-FP relay, as Haroon said
-declining flywheel sensor (if yours has a white paintmark on the cable it's the faulty one, yellow is good and means it's probably already been replaced)
-one of the fuel pumps is gone/going. if it still runs it's likely to be the in-tank one
-corrosion in your fuse panel, which could cause an intermittent condition
