Sometimes my car when started will sputter and jerk and not accelerate. If I kill it and let it set for a few minutes it will most of the time start up and run perfect. 4 months ago I changed the mass air flow sensor and all O2 sensors. Plugs and wire have been changed about a year ago. Any ideas?

Lack of acceleration, chugging, hesitating, bogging etc. Could be caused by one of the following below.

Inspect and test all the following listed below and get back with some results

Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Throttle position sensor.
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
False air leakage.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.
Cap and rotor.

Note:If it doesn't apply disregard.
