Car Hesitates
When Im stopped at a red light or stop sign and then I hit the gas the car hesitates and bucks for a second or two then it drives normally. It only happens when im stop and hit the gas. Its a 2008 tib with the 2.7L V6 and its an auto. I installed an Injen SRI about 3 weeks ago but this only stated happening about 2 days ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could be wires, plugs, MAF issue, TPS sensor among other things. I would put it on a scanner and look at the realtime data. My concern would be a dirty MAF or a loose MAF clamp.

OMFG I fell like a complete dumba$$ . I check all the clamps and the MAF sensor was loose and air was escaping, I dont know how I missed that. I woundnt think a loose clamp would cause the whole car to jerk back and forth while acclerating.
