Default 01 avant 2.8 sluggish on take off

sometimes when i take off from a light it seems like i only have half power , let off the throttle and go again and it takes off like a rocket. they replaced the throttle body but nothing changed. pretty scary pulling out in traffic, you dont no if it is going to go or not . my local guy cant seem to fix it .

If you havent had the throttle body adaptation done yet, do it. If that doesnt fix it, unplug your MAF and see if it runs better.
