i drove a mustang that was doing something like you say, giving it gas going nowhere, check ur trans and oil fluids, and make sure they are good, thats all it took and then the mustang took right off, thats all i can think of.

since its fine once you get on it, I would doubt its your CPS, but one more thing to add to the 'maybe' list.
