weird problem

this problem doesn't occur all the time, its very random whenever it feels like doing it, basicly this happens when i'm driving around town, if i speed up and then all the sudden stop the engine seems out of tune, it shakes like its going to shut down and after couple of seconds stoped its back to normal . Does this sound like an MAF issue? Any ideas thanks guys.

One way to find out, buy or borrow an ODBII tool and check to see an error code. If your MAF was indeed flakey it would turn your check engine light on. Do a search here to find out more on the OBDII tool.

The problem is that the check engine light won't come on, it just did it this morning too, as before I gave it i little gas and then stopped the engine vibrated for like two seconds and it went back to normal. The car is still under warranty, but I don't know if the dealer would be able to pinpoint the problem. Any suggestions on how to explain it to them, I know it not the easiest thing to do, since the service advisors imo are a bunch of morons. Thanks
