I have a 2002 3.8 V6 Auto that I purchased in August. It has a problem with, what seem to be, fuel starvation when I first accelerate. For about the first1 or 2 seconds, the engine feels like it is laying down from not getting enough fuel then it begins to accelerat normally up to the first shift. When it shifts the first time, their is a brief hesitation. The dealer I purchased the car from says they can find nothing wrong.

Has anyone else had this problem with their 2002? If so, what do you do? What did the dealer do?
