Acceleration issues, such as stumbling or hesitation, can often be traced back to air leaks between the mass airflow sensor and the throttle body. To address this problem:

1. Inspect the hoses connecting the mass airflow sensor to the throttle body.
2. Check for loose hose clamps and tighten them if necessary.
3. Look for any visible holes or cracks in the hoses.
4. Use gasket sealer to patch any holes and ensure a tight seal.
