I hit the gas and the car takes its time to move and get going. Could you tell me somethings to do to fix this like where the locations of the sensors are and how to test them to see if bad to change? Thanks for your time.

This car is pretty easy to work on so all of the sensors are accessible. Is there is check engine light on? If so please follow this guide to read them and get back to us.

if not then I would change out the MAP sensor becasue the sensor becomes contaminated and will give a false reading which reduces engine power. This condition will not give a code.

Here is a guide and some diagrams (below) to help you get the car fixed:

Please let us know what happens so it will help others.
