This problem has never thrown a code or turned on the CEL.

From a stop under moderate to hard acceleration the car will accelerate normally just enough to get you out in traffic. Then it bogs down almost like it goes into limp mode. After about 1 second it clears out and accelerates hard again - sometimes spinning the tires. It happens a couple times a month - no set pattern.
