Our 2004 Mazda Tribute seems to have a problem with accelerating. If you punch the gas pedal or try to accelerate too fast the V6 seems to catch and it more or less stalls (not exactly stalls as it is a Auto trans). It just will not accelerate to a faster speed very quickly without that catch. Maybe after 15-30 seconds it will the catch and accelerate, but obviously this is a problem.

Also the engine does rev and the RPMS do rise but the vehicle just does not catch that acceleration, kind of like sitting still and revving the engine. I am not mechanically inclined so I can't just go looking all around in the engine and hope to find a problem or not. Knowing the little bit I do know, it sounds like the transmission to me. Could it also have to do with the fuel line and it being clogged up or something? I'd like someone with more knowledge than I to give a little bit of help. Will add more information if needed. Thanks.
