Acceleration Delay

Hello guys. Quick question. On my explorer, i tend to have this weird delay on accelerating while driving. For example, if I'm at a complete stop and I make a left turn the the acceleration will stall no matter how much I press on the accelerator. After a couple of seconds the acceleration kicks in and I can actually fill the car lunge forward. I'm thinking its related to the transmission. Your thoughts?

First check the fluid level of the transmission.

Yeah, I would second that. It sounds like the time my fluid was low. If it's low; where did it go? Find the leak. Mine was leaking out of the front seal. It's hard to tell because there's a lot of wind down there. My torque converter ran dry.
