I've never had a weak engine problem. Maybe you're just experiencing the delay as the torque converter unlocks so the revs can jump. If the power surge happens when you're stopped, its normal. Its caused by the AC compressor cycling. Keep your foot FIRMLY on the brake.

My car slows more when I let off the gas if the A/C is on.
That's just because there's more parasitic drag with the A/C on.
I also hate the torque converter on our car though - it seems to engage/disengage at the wrong times.
