    Default Vl struggling when i accelerarte

    when i accelerate it sort of stutters and takes a couple of second to get going, but once it does its fine, until i have to stop again.

    any ideas as to what the problem is?

    The car is an automatic.

    stutter on take off also could be a few things afm/ plugs/ leads/ dizzy contacts/rotor dirty gummed up inlet plenum and throttlebody caused by oil which vents into plenum to be burnt from PCV as well as other things, fuel filter, bad fuel, Vacuum leak,dirty(gummy/blocked) AAC valve etc etc
    process of elimination and start with cheapest thing first

    what detox_nath83 has said is spot on, it could be a number of things and start with the cheapest and easiest first, try afm and clean the inside of your throttle body, it's amazing what a difference it makes.
