My car hesitates when I try to accelerate

Hi, my car has just under 90,000 miles. Many times when I press the gas, the car hesitates for 3-5 seconds and then it goes. When I press the pedal, the RPM gauge jumps to 3, skipping 1 and 2. Eventually, it goes down to 1 and I am able to drive. This can happen anytime I need to stop the car while driving (lights, stop signs, etc.) The mechanic has: replaced the belts, changed the spark plugs, and cleaned the fuel injector. He’s run out of ideas. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dbauer
