lately i've noticed a hesitation stutter when i start my car if its already warm, almost like a backfire. but it starts cold just fine
Perhaps your coolant temp sensor is going bad? If it's reading too low, it will probably be adding more fuel than it should be.

explain? by low u mean low coolant or low temp
Low temp. If it's reading too low, the ECU would add more fuel thinking the engine is cold, causing it to run rich when it shouldn't be.
cold start injector?
