I'm so worried now because when my car is warming up for about the first 10 minutes, I have no acceleration and when it does its a really jerky ride and the car just seems to be driving funny. You said the MAS was to blame, is it simple enough for me to replace the part myself because I can't afford to take my car back into the shop again!
A MAF will cause the problems your describing also.
There are 2 phyllips screws to remove and 1 connector to unplug. Remove it form the air intake tube and CLEAN wih electronic parts cleaner.
Re-install , CLEAR code(s) and see how it runs.

What code did you have????
