Check fuel pressure. Clogged fuel filter or a weak pump can cause this. Map or TPS could also show same symptoms. I connect a scan tool and see what they are reading and compare to what the correct parameters are.

Also check the MAP sensor. If the computer doesn't read the drop in vacuum when the throttle is opened up, it won't the correct amount of fuel to meet the demand.
