Angry 93 GXE hesitates at low speed

Recently my 93 altima gxe has been hesitating horribly at low speeds. I'll be either on a hill or level ground and at a stop and the light will be green and then I'll press on the gas. Either feathering or
stomping on it I get the same reaction, I go literally 1 mph and it sputters at that speed. Then it rolls along and about ten seconds or so I get instant speed and it takes off. Once at high speeds it drives fine for the most part, a random sputter here or there but nothing horrible. It's getting worse though I've almost gotten rear ended a few times. Anyone know what's up or have any suggestions? Thanks so much in advance for any help you can provide.

Check your spark plugs, wires and distributor. Check them for oil or any damage or corrosion. Squeeze all your vacuum hoses. If they are real squishy or break off when you remove them, then you need to replace them. Check the vacuum hoses for cracks or if they are clogged. Next check your fuel pump and pressure regulator. If you still have the problem, then it might be your intake manifold gasket. Good Luck.

Sounds like an air flow meter, let me know, I can tell you how to fix it.
