WOT Acceleration Delay
Sometime, when traveling at a decent speed or even very little, I will give my car WOT, and it doesn't accelerate. Sometime, I will hear the engine work, but not go up in RPM. Others, the RPM will go up without acceleration, but it always kicks in. As if something catches. What is the cause of this? This is intermittent. Isn't always occurring. This is while engine temp gauge is at half way.

I am just throwing this out there, but if you hear the engine working as normal it might be a transmission issue. At least enough to make sure that you have correct fluid level, and the fluid doesn't smell burnt. When you start your car cold in the morning does it have a tendency to work better than when it warms up? This, to me, also points to possible transmission issue. As the tranny fluid warms up it becomes thinner, which will reduce transmission line pressure, which can result in slipping if the tranny hasn't been taken care of, or is about to go out. How many miles do you have on your ES? Done regular transmission services?

If it works better when it's warm, it's not the transmission. I'd maybe take a stab in the dark and try cleaning the MAF sensor. One check I always do, is to put the car in gear, press hard on the brake, and give it full throttle for 1-2 seconds, and see if the engines stumbles under full load.
