Lets start with the easy stuff. Is or has the SES light come on lately? It could be many things. With a little more info and as bogus stated, maintenance history on things you have done to narrow things down, it shouldn't be too difficult to get on the right track.

Sounds like the fuel delivery can't respond fast enough to keep up with the air when you open the throttle blades quickly and leans it way out. Does it work ok under WOT if you get there gradually?


If so, its probably not a fuel pump or pressure problem, but something else like TPS or O2 or MAF/MAP that determines the injector pulse width.

Fuel pressure problem is the easiest to check though.
