My car chuggs and surges when I start to go from a complete stop. Like a red light. When I go to accelerate it will chugg and surge for a couple of seconds then be okay til the next time I have to stop. I have had my car in the shop twice and they couldn't find the problem. They cleaned the fuel injection and replaced the plugs and wires. Their diagnostic test showed nothing. I think it might be the Mass Air Flow sensor. But would like a second opinion.
Thanks!!

It certainly would not hurt cleaning MAF they can cause trouble that does not set a code. Also clean throttle if hasn't be done.
