Sometimes when I try to accelerate my car will take a minute to start going faster. It usually happens when I am going uphill, or have been at a complete stop (stoplight, stopsign etc). I thought it might be the oil filter, or the fuel injectors.. any suggestions??

Could be the fuel injectors, but I can guarantee you it's not the oil filter. Best thing to do is start with the cheap stuff. Try replacing your air filter and then put a bottle of Valvoline fuel system cleaner in your gas tank the next time you fill up. If that doesn't do the trick, find a place that'll give you a tune-up -- at the very least they should replace your spark plugs and your PCV valve -- for a decent price (NOT the dealership -- they'll charge you an arm and a leg and they'll do a crappy job). If that doesn't solve your problem, have a local mechanic that gives free estimates take a look at it.
