Thread: Engine 'cuts out' when i pass people?

I can't nessacerily say it's cutting out, but when I go to pass people, so quick acceleration, my SC kicks in but acts as if it's cutting out? It's not just bogging down either. And last night at a stoplight I pressed the gas like I normally would, and it took a quick second to actually go. I've never had this problem before!

The only things I can think of would be a fuel filter, and plugs? Just had my mass air flow replaced two months ago.

Any ideas guys? Or any similar situations?
I really appreciate the help!

Where in MN are you?

Also, provide detail about what you are driving so the more knowledgeable people can help - model, year, modifications, recent maintenance, etc.

Switched to this forum, so that's my fault, just so used to everyone knowing what I drive in the previous one!
I drive a bone stock 2000 GTP. She's my daily beater 😁

I'll was thinking that as an option too, guess I'll have to stop and get some before the weekend here.

But I'm in the Twin Cities.

Get some MAF cleaner as well.
