I have the same problem, although I don't think mine is anywhere as severe. She still runs super strong, but I notice hesistation on acceleration - especially when it's cold.

here's my scenario:

From a stop, lightly accelerate where the Revs 'll go to about 1,500 then the sputter down to maybe 1250 (but you can feel it) then it launches back to normal (1500+ RPM) ......does all this while remaining constant on the accelerator.

If i just hit the pedal moderately it's fine - aggressively it's also fine ....floor it and it's still fine. I just figured this to be the problem that ECUTune's stage 1 chip is to fix.

I'm also due for a major 60k service, so after I do all that I'll see if it still does it.

Have you tried replacing the basics? Like plugs, clean the air filter, fuel filter, pcv ....all that?
