Ok here I go agian, the car starts fine idels fine and runs great. the issue is that when I stop at a stop sign or red light, when I give it gas to go it hesitates ever so briefly then takes off. I noticed that the lights dim and the rpms drop as well. Recommendations anybody.

When was the last time you changed the fuel filter?

THanks for the help, I pulled the throttle body and took it all apart, cleaned it up and replaced all the gaskets. It seems to have fixed this issue.
