help ! my car is stalling at take off.

I dont know whats going on lately , when taking off from a light i have to rev to about 2k and then release the clutch , if not the car stalls or just bogs realy bad, i cant realy explain it, but if i try to take of normal the rpms drop to about 200 and i pop the clutch back in and the car barly gets back to normal idle, it seems like a fuel thing but i am think if its some thing to do with my clutch, and im not sure but it has ben realy hot latly and it only seems to happen when my car is hot. Does anyone have this same problem or know what might be wrong.

It sounds like your MAF(Mass Air Flow Sensor) My car did the same thing and someone here on the org told me to replace it and I when I did the problem was solved. Good Luck!
