Not accelerating under more than 1\4 throttle

While driving home the other day my car starts running really bad when I try take off when I let off the clutch and give It gas the car buckles real bad and will only go with a 1/4 of the throttle pressed and du this in all gears. But I can shut the car off while rolling down the road and restart it and sometimes it’ll act normal agin. Still misses a lot tho. Anybody have any ideas

Sounds like a bad MAF. Have you tried replacing the MAF yet? Do you have any codes? Misfires should light up the check engine light.

Yes I checked it out with code reader and it is throwing a MAF code and a TPS code to I’m gonna try the MAF first see if that fixes it before the TPS

Is that the cam shaft sensors because I’ve replaced that about a year ago it went bad but it was doing slightly different things.

Yes, the cam sensors.
