Well.. this happens most of the times.. sometimes I'll even just stomp on it to rev the engine while in neutral.. but for some reason it seems like it's hesitating.. like I'll stomp on it.. then like sometimes it'll cough over and eventually rev up.. (I'm talking like.. maybe a second, but still it adds up) should I just throw some injector cleaner in the gas and see if that does the trick? Right now I have stock gears, but soon getting the 3.90's installed and I know that will make a difference, but as far as it just coughing on me.. I'm clueless.. thanks guys.

Sounds to me like the traction control is on. Happens to me all the time.

Makes sure the trac light is on ... when the light is on your traction control is OFF.

Basically unless you have a modified chip you have to turn it off everytime you get in the car, otherwise your vehicle will fall flat on its face at the first sign of traction loss.
