Just curious, What brand of plugs did you put in and are they gaped at .035? I know when I put in some high priced Bosch plugs my XJ had the same problem. So, I took them out and put back the Champion plugs and it ran great.

Important question is did you have this symptom BEFORE your tuneup? Did the tuneup include plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter?
There are lots of possibilities for hesitation, but I'll have to agree with RTorrez about Bosch plugs. Some, (not all to be fair) have had some issues with them which have been resolved with a different brand of plugs, predominantly Champion coppers. That's what I'd recommend.

TPS would be next to check, fuel delivery issue, CPS, to name a few.. But its a Renix, which I have no right getting into.
