Default 1997 2.2L acting VERY weird

Well to start off when i start it up it will start just fine. If i shut it off and then start it up too quickly it will run like absolute crap and sometimes stall and have no power. It also sometimes backfires if i stomp the pedal too hard. Another problem is taking off it will hesitate then go. im so confused and dont know where to go. Iv replaced my spark plugs, serpentine belt and the normal maintenance and what not.

Any codes? It sounds like you may have a problem with a sensor, ECT possibly, but it should throw a code.
