Acceleration Lag???

Sometimes after hard acceleration, my car's acceleration seems to lag.

In other words, when I hit the gas, nothing will happen for a second or two.

It's similar to when you are driving a stick, and your are in too high of a gear.

Once I shut the car off, it seems to reset itself, and everything is fine.

But I can't always do this (ie if I am on the highway).

Any suggestions?

I replaced my MAF with the germanstar insert last night and it is like a whole new car. I'd recommend locating a replacement.
