Why is my Ford S-Max experiencing delayed acceleration?

I have noticed that when I press down on the gas pedal, there is a slight delay before the car starts to accelerate. Is there a possible issue with the engine or transmission?

I had a similar issue with my Ford S-Max and it turned out to be a faulty fuel pump. I suggest getting it checked by a mechanic.

Have you tried cleaning or replacing your air filter? A clogged or dirty air filter can affect acceleration.

I had the same problem with my Ford S-Max and it was due to a faulty throttle position sensor. I had it replaced and haven't had any issues since. I recommend getting it checked by a mechanic.
