No power on acceleration - cold engine
For about 2 months, my car has started to have NO power when accelerating quickly with a cold engine. It did not use to do this. I have had it to 4 mechanics in Panama City, FL and no one can seem to pinpoint the problem. I just paid $2800 for the catalytic converters to be replaced and timing belt change. That seems to have helped some but still when i accelerate on cold engine, the car doesn't hardly move. My knowledge is very limited and am worried that I am getting screwed by my mechanic. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response. Mechanic replaced both cats and it seems to have improved but still sometimes it has no power when mashing accelerator. I may still try this MAF sensor. Where is the best place to pick one up?
