Default 06' Gs300 kicks on acceleration

First time posting on here...
My 2006 lexus gs 300 has this annoying issue where if i would accelerate with light throttle from a complete stop, the car would kick . This happens the most and basically every time when i would slow down at a stop sign with using the brakes, then let go of the brakes and accelerate again, the car would feel like it has some sort of throttle delay and then you feel a heavy push/kick like the wheels are confused..
This is really irritating and id do anything to just solve this issue.
Please help, thanks !

There's another thread going on about this exact same issue. Perhaps a throttle body and MAFS cleaning is in order?

I have the same issue...with a 04 GS300 , I'm guessing a TPS either needs a new one or adjustment?
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.

It acts like there is a delay between throttle movement and action on the engine's part..other than that its perfect in every way.
