hesitation under acceleration and when revving, please help

[coolwhip]

ok i have a 98 eclipse gs. ive had the car for about 4 months but it just recently started doing this. sometimes when you acclerate hard at low rpms, it stumbles a bit and hesitates. its not that bad yet, but its steadily getting worse and i want to correct it immediately. also, when you rev it hard, it will stumble at low rpms. when i changed the spark plugs about a month ago, i noticed the number 4 spark plug had oil on it, and i thought that might have been the source of my problems. i did some research and found that a bad valve cover gasket can cause oil to drip down in the plug well, so i replaced the valve cover gasket. the plugs are all dry now, but my problem still exists. i am leaning toward a couple things, but i need an expert to point me in the right direction. im thinking either clogged fuel filter, or arching plug wires. someone please help. the car has 80k on it and is in immaculate shape and it kills me for it to have this problem. thanks

I know you already checked plugs, but here is a good route to go

1. plugs
2. wire
3. fuel filter
4. compression check
5. check vacum hoses
6. all electrical connections.

All of that stuff should be check regularly anyway.
