2008, 2.5S 148,000 miles. When accelerating from a stop the car temporarily “stalls” for about 5 seconds then accelerates rapidly, no check engine light on. Mechanic just changed the brake switch but issue continues. Mechanic not sure of issue as diagnostic check lead him to brake switch. Really don’t want to pay $700 for a throttle body, his quote.

Could be a brake assembly sticking for a second to then release.
