Default Second problem, sorry

I just had the oil pan changed and the seals redone recently and I don't know if this is affecting things. A new problem popped up. If I suddenly floor the gas, like when stopped at a light or something and I want to fly, then car will die for a couple seconds completely before the gas kicks in and then it goes. So basically, every time I floor it, it seems to die for a second or even a few seconds until it seems to go accordingly. If I never put the pedal to the metal, however, this never happens and it seems to drive normal and without disruption. It didn't use to do this. Anyone have anyone ideas of what to look for?

Hmm....$4.10 gal gas, If you dont floor it everything is fine. Do your wallet and the planet a favor. Drive like theres eggs under the pedal.

well rather than provide another lame answer try this:
1. Check for any vacuum leaks first
2. Check your TPS, Make sure it's rreading is not excedding 5.0vdc at WOT. ps:it could also be a marginal TPS giving a bad reading when WOT is given, then falls back into tolerance.

Also check FPR

How much fuel in tank? I get the same problem if I'm under 1/4 to 1/3rd of a tank...

This was even happening on a full tank. Any ideas how much a mechanic would charge to fix this if it's what you think?

Has your fuel filter ever been changed? That's a symptom.
