Default Strange problem with the venge

so a while now i have been having an issue where i will press down on the gas pedal and nothing happens the car just stutters and sits there or gently moves foward then after holding my foot down for a few seconds it revs up and goes... but its a bad issue seeing as it does it randomly i have to be really carefull pulling out onto roads and stuff cause the car might stutter and sit in the road

i just replaced the fuel pump and got new plugs and wires
i was told by several machanics that the issue was the fuel pump which in part has to be true cause sence i replaced it the problem isent as bad ..but its still doing it

so my question is

has any 1 els had this issue with there avenger?
or have any suggestions as to the issue?

its the V6 es 2.5 liter

I'd check the TPS for smooth voltage output when accelerating ....

Throttle Positioning Sensor(TPS) but have you had ur alternator checked recently? because i kinda had the same problem with mine but it was when i was at high speeds trying to accel., my car would basicly die while coasting. it turned out to be my alternator wasnt charging correctly. but im not sure if thats what ur problem is but wouldnt hurt to try

How was it acting exactly? Because with my car I can floor it and the rpms will go up but it will take a second for the car to actually start accelerating.

this is what happens while stoping or while slowing down around a corner ... i put my foot back down to accel and it does not even send gas to the engine i would just stall out or putter
