First of my car is a 98 Eclipse GS. When ever i put on any gear and step on the gas paddle the car hesitates. If anyone could help me that would be a great help. thanks.

I second that. Sounds like plugs and wires.

When ever the engine is about to die the check engine light turns on. And as it is about to die i step on the clutch and the engine is back to normal at a slightly higher rpm. How do u go about checking the plugs and wires?

You should also get the manual to your car. It will give you advice and how-to info on how to maintain our car.
