problem when accelerating from a dead stop.
Today I noticed a really strange problem occuring with my car. When I am accelerating from a dead stop things get really jerky. For instance, when I first press the gass the car kind of studders as if was changing gears (only we're talking like at 10mph here) and then afterwards it runs fine. Anyone ever had this kind of problem?
Anyone know what I might be? The rear brakes were just replaced before I bought it a few weeks ago if you think that might make any differnece, but frankly I don't see how that could be a problem. The check engine light isn't coming on so I don't what to think.

Might want to check to see if the maf sensor is working right.
When the maf sensor goes out on a tip and give it alot of throttle the car cant figure out what gear it wants to be in. You might also want to check the vac line at the fpr, if there is a leak there the car tends to run rich in the lower rpms and then leans out in the higher rpms.
