We need more info, such as the mileage of the car, how well you keep it tuned up, stuff like that. Also, do you have a SES light on?

I'm guessing that you have an auto trans. If so, try manual shifting, i.e., put lever in 1 and take off from a stop. Maybe the transmission isn't shifting into 1st gear when you are stopped.
