Idles great, doesn't miss. Upon acceleration the engine has a server dead spot before rpm comes up. Almost like sucking way too much air. The engine falls flat on it's face. Is it MASS Air Flow sensor or timing, could it to idle/air control module? At a loss and need this vehicle fixed asap. Please help, thanks, Bob.

Try this clean the MAF sensor with an electronic cleaner and test the throttle position sensor closed, check/test MAP sensor and WOT voltages-also check fuel pressure- start here and let me know
