problem,,,please help!!!

I am having a problem where I will accelerate from a light or while trying to pass someone and my car will fall on it's face and then accelerate like it has 2 cylinders. It does it when I have been driving for a while. When I start it and let it warm up then drive it, it has a ton of power. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or would know what it is. I have a new MAF so I know that isn't it.

I don't know. I am going to try the plugs and then if that doesn't fix it then I don't know. It makes no sense to change the coils if that's not going to fix it for sure. It's hard also cause it's not throwing any codes.
