Ya.. the stomp... rev... then lurch sounds more like clutch to me. I'm not getting the rev or lurch part, just stomp and for a fraction of a second, there is a delay then the engine decides to get happy. It's almost like it's taking the ECU a second to process the full throttle command.

Very well may be, try the manual reset, might help.

MAF sensor, try resetting the ECU and follow the idea about the tailights maybe.

I just encountered this problem today. Well, actually it happened once a couple months ago, but I ignored it and it went away. I was driving home on the interstate for about 20 min, and when i got off and got stopped at red lights, this is where it happened, several times. It might have something to do with the temps being above 100 around here today. I barely made it into the mall, but when i left the mall and went home everything was fine.

I'm pretty sure it's not a clutch issue with me b/c when i parked i sat in the lot and revved for a few minutes and it was very unresponsive.

No mods btw. I'll give MAF and ECU a try but I'm sure it'll be fine tomorrow. ugh!
