    Somtimes I'll notice if I tap the gas just a little it will keep accelerating for a quick second and then stop. But that's about it

    Are you saying that when you start up and start driving after a few minutes it stalls. Does this happen everytime? Do you have a check engine light. Pull the codes it should tell you. Codes can be read for free at most autoparts stores. Sounds like you have a bad sensor: cam, crank, or temp most likely.
