Sputtered from stop
I know with little to no info you guys will only be guessing but so am I.
Today I leave work stop at the store all is well pull up to redlight, light turns green and VRRROO WTF.. Im sputtering through trying to get out of everyones way. It was one of those I can't give it too much gas but Im afraid to get off the gas cause it might stall and I need to GTFO of the way.
She hasn't given me anyproblems recently other than the hot start [but its cold outside now] anyways I pull over and its idling fine like always and everything is great.
Only thing I could compare it to is a TPS that was reading closed while the engine was getting more air than it could handle, if that makes sense.
It only happened once but I was pretty nervous.

Is great.
Iacv is new.
when you get a chance...check / tighten the intake manifold bolts...a few guys here have found that they were loose after a head gasket job.
Don't stop!!!
Possible Causes of Engine Hesitation or Stumble:
Dirty fuel injectors(cleaning the injectors often fixes this).
Bad TPS (throttle position) sensor
Bad or dirty MAF (mass airflow) sensor
Low fuel pressure (leaky fuel pressure regulator or weak fuel pump)
Vacuum leaks (intake manifold, vacuum hoses, throttle body, EGR valve)
Bad gasoline (fuel contaminated with water or too much alcohol)
Good luck.
