Default B5 - Engine Hesitation around 30-40mph

Hey Yo,
I have a 2001 A4 2.8. The past month I've been having problems when cruising around 30-40 mph. The engine hesitates and kind of sputters back at me before taking off again. It only does it at that speed. Has anyone else had similar problems? I need help!!!! I am not that mechanically inclined but refuse to get raped by the dealership. Could it be back spark plugs?

Thanks,

I'm experiencing a similar situation except at 70-80 mph. The speed drops off as if it's not getting any fuel even though I'm pressing the pedal. It eventually sorts its way out and I'm cruising normally. I've added Techron fuel system cleaner to the gas hoping to clean the injectors a little. I'm hoping that a temporary clog had occurred.

Have codes read and post them. AutoZone does it free.
