Can you elaborate alittle more? Basically all Iget from what you wrote was you punched it and it hesitated.

well i was kinda just taking off normal. i pushed on the gas(not full throttle, like half or something) and it felt like the engine just shut off and then all of a sudden took off. and i also let it warm up before i drove it.
