I have a 2005 mustang convertible v6, Ive had the car about 3 years and within the past few months it has started to lag when i step on the gas. It seems to only happen when I am fully stopped and I gun it. It is almost like the engine is thinking of what to do because it will start to roll a bit and then accelerate like it should with an open throttle. Im not sure what other information could be needed to try and figure it out but I will answer any and all questions I can. Thank you in advance. Also, I am posting here after trying to find an answer on my own online and I cant find anything that seems to be a common fix even though it seems like it is an issue others have had.

Try simple things like cleaning the inside of the throttle body and cleaning the MAF sensor element.

I ended up just replacing the maf sensor so hopefully that fixes it. If not I'll clean the throttle body. Thanks for the advice and I'll post updates.
