Re: sluggish acceleration when cold

Looks like it was the Mass Air Flow Sensor. I followed some advice from a mechanic that works at the dealership to pull out the MAF sensor and clean the tiny wire with some carb cleaner. The car is running fine now. A dirty MAF sensor will apparently make the engine run lean and now I notice that it idles better too. Hopr this will help someone else too. Thanks for all the help guys.
